Configure GitHub Instance for SaaS Security Posture Management
Configure GitHub Instance for SaaS Security Posture Management
The installation instruction describes how to integrate your GitHub account with Netskope. To configure GitHub for SaaS Security Posture Management, you need to authorize Netskope as a web application client to access your GitHub account. To configure GitHub for SaaS Security Posture Management, there are two parts to this procedure:
-
Install the Introspection for GitHub app in the GitHub organization account
-
Configure GitHub instance in the Netskope UI
Prerequisites:
-
You should have a GitHub enterprise cloud license to integrate GitHub with SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM).
– If you have already configured GitHub for API Data Protection, you need not install the GitHub app yet again. You can edit the existing GitHub instance under Settings > Configure App Access > Classic > SaaS and enable the Security Posture checkbox and re-grant the app instance.
