GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) has been available for a while, but it is still new on Azure DevOps. One missing feature on Azure DevOps is the “Dependency Review”, which enables DevOps teams to assess security risks by checking the dependencies they are using.
While exploring its potential, we discovered GHAzDO’s limitations compared to GHAS, particularly missing the "Dependency Review" feature that safeguards your projects by assessing security risks in the dependencies you use.
To address this, Rene Van Osnabrugge and Randy Pagels took matters into their own hands, developing a custom solution that emulates this feature. They unveil the power of GHAzDO and their innovative solution to ensure secure dependencies and strengthen your codebase. Don’t miss this game-changing insight into the world of GitHub’s advanced security!
