Github
Monitor your GitHub repositories and automatically perform SAST, Secret scanning.
Overview
GitHub integration with DefendOps allows you to monitor code changes directly within your repositories and perform static application security testing (SAST) scans and secret scanning on every commit. This seamless connection via GitHub’s webhooks automatically triggers scans, providing real-time feedback and security insights without requiring manual intervention.
Real-Time SAST Scans: Each time a commit is pushed to your repository, DefendOps triggers SAST scans to identify vulnerabilities in your codebase before deployment. This helps detect security issues early, reducing the risk of production-level breaches.
Secret Scanning: With DefendOps, you can automatically scan for sensitive information such as API keys, credentials, and other secrets that may accidentally be committed to the codebase. By identifying these secrets early, you can prevent potential leaks or unauthorized access.
Automated Pull Requests for Security Fixes: If security vulnerabilities or secrets are detected, DefendOps can automatically create pull requests to suggest fixes, similar to the functionality provided by Dependabot, allowing you to quickly remediate vulnerabilities without manual oversight.
Pipeline Integration: Connect DefendOps to your GitHub repositories to seamlessly integrate security checks into your CI/CD pipeline. Automatically trigger scans on each new commit and maintain a continuous security posture without disrupting the development workflow.
Additional Information
To integrate GitHub with DefendOps, you'll need to authenticate via the Github Application Provided. Upon a commit, DefendOps will receive a callback and trigger the SAST and secret scans for the code changes. You don't need to configure anything other than authenticating via the Hosted Github Application and choose the repositories that you want to monitor then leave the rest for DefendOps. For more details on GitHub Applications, please refer to GitHub’s official documentation at (https://docs.github.com/en/apps/overview).
