GitHub Advanced Security (GH-500)

Course Outline

GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) plays a crucial role in enhancing the security posture of software development projects on GitHub. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and features designed to identify and address security vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle. By integrating security directly into the development process with GHAS, your team can build more secure and reliable software. The course will explore how to utilize GHAS to maximize security impact and understand GHAS and its role in the security ecosystem.
