Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of security requirements you need to meet as a developer? It’s a common problem. In fact, nearly 60% of developers admit they don’t fully understand how to fulfill all these requirements. And with app vulnerabilities being the number one attack vector, it’s more important than ever to write secure code.
Enter Copilot Autofix. This AI-powered tool is designed to help developers quickly and easily identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code. It’s like having a personal security expert at your fingertips.
How does it work?
- Detection: GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) scans your code for potential vulnerabilities and Copilot Autofix suggests fixes.
- Flagging: When it finds a problem, it immediately flags it for your attention.
- Recommendation: It then suggests specific code changes to fix the issue.
The best part? Copilot Autofix is incredibly fast. In fact, it’s 3 times faster than manually fixing the same security issue for pull requests, 7 times faster for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and 12 times faster for SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Copilot Autofix also has a “Generate Fix” button that makes it super easy to apply the recommended changes to your code. Whether you’re working on new code or fixing existing vulnerabilities, Copilot Autofix has you covered.
Copilot Autofix supports all CodeQL languages, so you can use it with your favorite programming language. Plus, it has a contextual understanding of your code, which means it can provide more accurate and relevant recommendations.
Don’t forget secret scanning! With Copilot Secret Scanning, you can detect both human- and machine-generated secrets in your code, such as API keys, passwords, and tokens.
Copilot Autofix helps GitHub Advance Security (GHAS) shift security left.
GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) includes Copilot Autofix as a built-in feature. Since GHAS is built into the GitHub platform you are familiar with, there’s no need to learn a new tool.
By using Copilot Autofix, you can:
- Supercharge your security: Quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities.
- Eradicate security debt: Pay down existing vulnerabilities and prevent new ones.
- Improve developer experience: Write secure code without sacrificing speed or efficiency.
In short, Copilot Autofix is a game-changer for developers who want to write secure code. It’s a powerful tool that can help you protect your applications and your users from attacks. So why wait? Start using Copilot Autofix today!
