    Integrated security features ease adoption but don’t ensure maturity

    5.0
    Aug 3, 2026
    My overall expeiernece with GitHub for software supply chain security has been positive. Its greatest strength is that security capabilities are directly integrated into the platform where devs already manage code, dependencies, and CI/CD workflows. This is a massive reduction in friction when compared to operating a completely separate security platform that devs have to leave GitHub to use.

Performance of GitHub Across Market Features

GitHub Likes & Dislikes

Like

My favorite parts of the platform are GitHub Advanced Security, Dependabot, and the governance that is available for repositories and GitHub Actions. Within GHAS, CodeQL provides valuable static analysis results directly within pull requests and repositories, while Dependabot finds vulnerable dependencies and can generate pull requests for available updates. Secret scanning and push protection are also valuable assets as they can identify and prevent credentials from being committed.

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
