About management of security and analysis settings
GitHub can help you to secure the repositories in your organization. You can manage the security and analysis features for all existing or new repositories that members create in your organization. Organizations that use GitHub Enterprise Cloud with a license for GitHub Advanced Security can also manage access to these features. For more information, see the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.
Note: You can't disable some security and analysis features that are enabled by default for public repositories.
You can quickly enable security features at scale with the GitHub-recommended security configuration, a collection of security enablement settings you can apply to repositories in an organization. You can then further customize GitHub Advanced Security features at the organization level with global settings. See "About enabling security features at scale."
If you enable security and analysis features, GitHub performs read-only analysis on your repository.
