    Impact of GitHub Advanced Security Testing Integration on Development Workflows

    4.0
    Feb 26, 2026
    We use GitHub's Advanced Security Testing to strengthen security practices within our deployment workflows. By integrating GitHub's Advanced Security Testing capabilities into our repositories and CI/CD pipelines, developers can now detect issues earlier during development. It has various features that provide automated checks and run alongside our normal development workflows like code and dependency scanning, and secret detection. Using it has shifted the onus of security to development teams rather than having a dedicated security team.

Like

I really like how well it integrates with our developer workflows. Security checks are run within the same platform as opposed to employing a dedicated security platform that the developers would then need to learn. With this level of integration, security alerts appear directly in repositories, pull requests, and developer dashboards, due to which remediation is a lot faster. It also scans for secret keys, credentials, or tokens, and prevents them from accidentally being committed, which is a very valuable safeguard. It detects dependency vulnerabilities, which identifies known third-party vulnerabilities as we use open-source libraries a lot. Its static code analysis also runs automatically as part of its CI pipeline and highlights potential vulnerabilities earlier in the development process.

Dislike

* Poor support - don't reply to your questions * Security controls are hard to implement - some CodeQL rules need to be applied at an individual repo level - very time consuming * Lack of visibility - we had scan that didn't run for over a year and the security dashboard at the organisation level didn't highlight the issue
