Security teams need visibility and context to harden GitHub Enterprise access and posture

In 2024, an overprivileged and poorly managed GitHub token gave attackers wide access to private repositories and source code belonging to the New York Times.

Obsidian delivers defense in depth for GitHub, removing posture-related risk to your organization.

GitHub pipelines, tokens, and secrets need continuous security oversight

Zero Trust wasn’t built to manage third-party SaaS risks like GitHub access, token sprawl, or app-level security controls.

  • Overprivileged Personal Access Tokens and users often go unnoticed
  • No easy way to track who has access to which repositories
  • Teams lack visibility into organization-wide posture and drift

‍

Monitor GitHub SaaS posture, automate token cleanup, and secure repositories

  • Restrict org-level secrets to approved repositories to prevent accidental exposure
  • Identify and monitor Personal Access Tokens (PATs) with excessive privileges or no expiration across all orgs
  • Automate workflows to monitor and manage risk for repos without secrets scanning enabled
  • Remove inactive or expired PATs with privileged roles
