About GitHub Advanced Security products

GitHub has many features that help you improve and maintain the quality of your code. Some of these are included in all plans, such as dependency graph and Dependabot alerts.

Other security features require you to purchase one of GitHub's Advanced Security products:

• GitHub Secret Protection, which includes features that help you detect and prevent secret leaks, such as secret scanning and push protection.
• GitHub Code Security, which includes features that help you find and fix vulnerabilities, like code scanning, premium Dependabot features, and dependency review.

Some of these features, such as code scanning and secret scanning, are enabled for public repositories by default. To run the feature on your private or internal repositories, you must purchase the relevant GitHub Advanced Security product.

You must be on a GitHub Team or GitHub Enterprise plan in order to purchase GitHub Code Security or GitHub Secret Protection. For more information, see GitHub’s plans and About billing for GitHub Advanced Security.

Run an assessment of your organization's exposure to secret leaks

Organizations on GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise can run a free report to scan the code in the organization for leaked secrets. This can help you understand the current exposure of repositories in your organization to leaked secrets, as well as help you see how many existing secret leaks could have been prevented by GitHub Secret Protection. See About the secret risk assessment.
