This course starts by providing an understanding of the risks regarding a GitHub account, Github’s account types and their security ramifications, Github’s access controls, Github branch-protection rules, and OPA concepts. This course will equip you with the knowledge to correctly assess your organization’s GitHub account security posture using the GitGat open-source tool, correctly set up basic GitHub security posture, whether you’re an individual or run a GitHub organization, and set up the state for the GitGat project and know how to set up a continuous security audit of your repositories.
The course is for anyone who has a GitHub account, manages repositories on GitHub, or is responsible for securing such repositories or accounts. The course could fit both hobbyists and professionals who manage GitHub organizations. In addition, the “under the hood” sections could interest developers wanting to learn more about Open Policy Agent-based projects.
The key to a successful open technology project is to ensure a neutral playing field for all developers, technologists, and companies to collectively contribute to project evolution and growth. The Linux Foundation was built on the idea of the democratization of code and scaling adoption, for all projects equally. Expert legal and governance support programs ensure everyone is on the same playing field.
