GitHub has changed the game when it comes to building software. It’s where developers collaborate, control versions, and integrate security into their pipelines. But as GitHub grows in scale, so does the complexity of managing security. With millions of repositories across thousands of teams, staying on top of security can feel like a never-ending challenge.

At Opsera, we get it. As part of our Unified Insights platform for the GitHub ecosystem, we’ve created the Advanced Security Dashboard, designed to give you the visibility and control you need to secure your GitHub environment effectively. Think of it as your single pane of glass into the entire GitHub security landscape, where you can track vulnerabilities, monitor security metrics, and take action faster than ever before.‍

The Growing Challenge of GitHub Security

GitHub has become the system of record for code and security, but without a unified view, security can slip through the cracks. With over 55 million public repositories, it’s all too easy to expose secrets or rely on vulnerable third-party libraries. Some research shows that 61% of organizations have accidentally exposed secrets in public repositories. Developers aren’t security experts, and even with GitHub’s built-in security tools, mistakes happen.

For large enterprises with multiple teams working across numerous repositories, it’s nearly impossible to track security across the board. That’s where the Opsera Advanced Security Dashboard comes in, offering real-time, enterprise-wide security insights for GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS).

What’s the Big Deal About the Opsera Advanced Security Dashboard?

Imagine having one place where you can track all your teams’ security metrics, without needing to dig through dozens of repositories or rely on siloed security data. That’s exactly what the Advanced Security Dashboard provides. Whether you're checking on a single project or the whole organization, you’ll have a real-time view of code scanning alerts, secrets detection, dependency vulnerabilities, and more.

Here’s what you get:

• Visibility: A unified view across all GitHub organizations, repositories, and teams. Track secrets, vulnerabilities, and risks in one dashboard. 
• Risk Reduction: Real-time alerts for code scanning, secrets detection, and dependency vulnerabilities, so you can quickly identify and address high-risk issues.
• Governance & Compliance: Auto-generate compliance reports (think GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001) and ensure policy adherence across the board.
• Operational Efficiency: Save time with automated alerts, intelligent dashboards, and real-time updates that keep everyone on the same page.
  

The Advanced Security Dashboard doesn’t just give you data; it gives you control. By connecting GHAS metrics to Copilot usage, developer behavior, and pipeline performance, you can see how security impacts productivity, flow, and risk, across all teams, in real-time.

A Better Way to Manage DevSecOps at Scale

Managing security at scale is tough, especially when you’re dealing with multiple teams, tools, and repositories. DevSecOps has promised to solve this by integrating security directly into development and operations. But it’s not always that simple, developers aren’t security experts, and sometimes automation fails. Misconfigurations happen, and vulnerabilities slip through the cracks.

That’s why it’s critical to have a tool that can give you real-time, actionable insights. The Advanced Security Dashboard is your window into security practices across all your teams, offering:

• Code Scanning Alerts: Track the number of open and closed alerts and measure progress over time.
• Secrets Detection: Monitor when sensitive data like API keys or passwords are exposed in your code.
• Dependency Alerts: Identify vulnerabilities in the third-party libraries your teams rely on.
• Impact Analysis: Quickly see which repositories are compromised and prioritize remediation efforts.
  

With all of this data in one place, you can compare security performance across teams, measure time to remediation (MTTR), and identify areas for improvement. Plus, the dashboard integrates with third-party security tools like Snyk, SonarQube, and Veracode, giving you a holistic view of your security posture.

Making Security Part of Your Culture

Opsera’s Advanced Security Dashboard isn’t just about tracking vulnerabilities; it’s about building a security-first culture. It empowers security and DevOps teams to collaborate, share insights, and take action faster than ever before.

Here’s how you can make the most of it:

1. Assign Ownership: Put someone in charge of security insights and make sure they’re turning data into action.
2. Integrate with Developer Tools: Make security part of your developers’ workflow by integrating alerts with tools like Jira and Slack.
3. Prioritize What Matters: Don’t just fix everything—focus on what’s most critical to your business.
4. Celebrate Progress: Use historical data to show improvement and keep leadership updated.
5. Automate Where Possible: Plug insights into your CI/CD pipelines to catch issues before they slow you down.
6. Standardize Across Teams: Ensure everyone’s using the same tools, policies, and dashboards.

By making security part of the daily workflow, you’ll not only reduce risks but also foster a stronger, more collaborative development environment.

Secure GitHub at Scale

GitHub has revolutionized software development, but securing it at scale requires more than just basic tools. The Opsera Advanced Security Dashboard turns GitHub Advanced Security data into something you can actually use, providing real-time insights that help you spot issues, fix them quickly, and stay compliant, all without sacrificing developer velocity.

With Opsera, security doesn’t slow down your development cycle. You get the visibility you need to stay compliant, keep your teams aligned on security goals, and maintain developer velocity. Opsera’s unified approach to security ensures that every part of the GitHub ecosystem is covered, from Copilot analytics, to SCM Migration, to GHAS, and beyond, so you cab build a data driven culture that scales with your org.
