GitHub’s Security Campaigns: The Superhero Cape Your Code Always Needed!

GitHub has rolled out security campaigns to help developers and security teams fix vulnerabilities together. Previously, only a small percentage of issues were solved, but with security campaigns, 55% of prioritized vulnerabilities were fixed. It’s like giving developers and security teams a buddy cop movie where they actually catch the bad guys.
