Take GitHub threats seriously: The largest code-sharing platform is extending your attack surface

Take GitHub threats seriously: The largest code-sharing platform is extending your attack surface

In 2021, GitGuardian scanned over 1 billion data points on GitHub.com, and the results were stunning. More than 6 million secrets – think API keys, database connection strings, and private certificates – were exposed on the platform!

Even more striking is the share of secrets and sensitive data exposed on the personal repositories of developers or open-source projects, of which SecOps teams lack visibility and control.

Join me for this live discussion with TAG Cyber analysts Chris Wilder and David Neuman to learn more about:
How GitHub expands an organization’s attack surface
Secrets sprawl and the threat it poses
How SecOps teams can protect their organization by looking past their perimeter
Stay until the end for a live demo of GitGuardian’s Public Monitoring platform; this will also be the opportunity to request a complimentary audit of your organization’s leaks on GitHub!
