6 security settings every GitHub maintainer should enable this week
GitHub Security Lab has consolidated six critical security configurations into a new "Protect Your Project" wizard to help maintainers secure repositories in minutes.
What: Maintainers are encouraged to enable SECURITY.md, private vulnerability reporting, secret scanning, Dependabot, code scanning, and branch protection. The new setup wizard streamlines these configurations for open-source projects.
Why it matters: Security best practices are often ignored by smaller projects; reducing the friction of enabling these features significantly lowers the barrier to adopting baseline protections.
Takeaway: Visit your repository's Security tab and use the "Protect Your Project" wizard to enable missing baseline defenses.
