Keep your essential code repositories and development workflows secure by identifying and resolving critical GitHub security issues and misconfigurations with Nudge Security. Secure your GitHub environment with enhanced identity governance, address critical security issues, and implement strategic guardrails for safe development workflows.
Over the past few years, GitHub has become deeply integrated into developers' daily workflows everywhere, bringing with it various security challenges. GitHub offers robust security options like repository permissions, code scanning, secret detection, branch protection rules, and access controls—but IT, security, and developer teams often share the administrative responsibilities of GitHub. This calls for effective methods that automate and streamline security checks to keep GitHub environments secure.
Nudge Security provides a unified approach to GitHub security and governance, offering a central hub where IT, security, compliance, and business teams collaborate to effectively protect and manage their GitHub ecosystem.
Nudge Security summarizes all relevant information related to your GitHub environment, along with the rest of the assets in your SaaS estate. You get actionable visibility into:
• All GitHub accounts and repositories across your organization, including shadow repositories and accounts
• Which employees have GitHub access and at what permission level
• How often employees are logging in, and what authentication methods they use
• Repository configuration settings and security controls
• What third-party apps and AI tools are integrated with GitHub
GitHub security risks can lead to unauthorized access, exposed data, or compromise of critical source code. That's why Nudge Security regularly performs security posture checks of your GitHub environment to surface and prioritize misconfigurations, identity security risks, risky app integrations, and data risks like:
‍
• Weak or missing repository access controls
• Disabled branch protection rules
• Missing two-factor authentication and SSO enforcement
• Exposed secrets and sensitive information

When a security posture check fails, Nudge Security explains exactly what happened, and provides resolution workflows and step-by-step remediation instructions for vital settings like secret scanning for new repositories, disabled webhook SSL verification, or GitHub actions allowed from all sources.
Don't let unsecured GitHub accounts compromise your organization's source code. Nudge Security strengthens identity governance for your GitHub environment:
• Enforce strong authentication with MFA and SSO requirements.
• Detect overly-permissive permissions, including critical admin access.
• Identify dormant repositories and inactive contributor accounts.
• Streamline developer offboarding, access revocation, and organization cleanup.
