What is GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps | GitHub Advanced Security for DevOps

GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps brings the secret scanning, dependency scanning and CodeQL code scanning solutions already available for GitHub users and natively integrates them into Azure DevOps to protect your Azure Repos and Pipelines.

These scanning tools will natively embed automated security checks into the Azure DevOps platform, allowing developers to secure their code, secrets and supply chain without leaving their workflow.

Azure DevOps Advanced Security provides below security features to help organizations identify and address security vulnerabilities in their development processes.

  • Secret Scanning push protection: check if code pushes include commits that expose secrets such as credentials
  • Secret Scanning repo scanning: scan your repository and look for exposed secrets that were committed accidentally
  • Dependency Scanning – search for known vulnerabilities in open source dependencies (direct and transitive)
  • Code Scanning – use CodeQL static analysis engine to identify code-level application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and authentication bypass.
Scope of GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps
  • only available for Git repositories
  • only available for Azure DevOps services, not available in Azure DevOps Server(old TFS)
