Short Overview

In general overview, GitHub's security landing page exhibits security highlights from different aspects like the Platform, Products, Features, and Customers. While the page itself doesn't give much insight into GitHub security features, there are links to related pages. Three things that stand out in highlights are the mention of its Bug Bounty program, security R&D team, and internal red team. Following that section, there is a showcase of the compliance badges, including SOC 1 and SOC 2, preceding the spotlight on GitHub Security Lab bug bounty and the number of CVEs found.
