World Congress 2026 North America

Secure development from pull request to production with GitHub

September 25, 2026 15:00 – 17:00 · 120 min Stage 12

What this session covers

Security should accelerate development—not become a late-stage gate or a pile of disconnected tools. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use GitHub’s native DevSecOps capabilities to protect an application throughout its delivery lifecycle: catch leaked secrets before they land, identify vulnerable dependencies and insecure code in pull requests, and harden GitHub Actions with least-privilege permissions and secure cloud identity.

Starting with a deliberately vulnerable sample repository, we’ll detect, remediate, and prevent common issues using GitHub Advanced Security and GitHub Actions. You’ll leave with practical patterns for creating a secure developer workflow that gives teams fast, actionable feedback while producing a more trusted path to production. GitHub’s DevSecOps capabilities support code scanning, secret protection, dependency security, and workflow automation directly in the developer workflow.
