GitHub

Complete GitHub security with identity aware detections, supply chain context, and automated response to stop code and credential threats.

Overview

Exaforce brings agentic, real time security to your GitHub organizations. By connecting to GitHub audit events, repository metadata, Actions workflows, and identity signals, Exaforce delivers high fidelity detections, guided investigations, and automated responses across your software supply chain.

Where legacy SIEMs struggle to stitch together developer activity, tokens, and repository posture, Exaforce normalizes and correlates this data in one place, accelerating time to detect while reducing false positives.

How it works

Exaforce continuously ingests and analyzes signals from GitHub through audit and activity streams, repository and workflow context, identity graph correlation, and SBOM enrichment. It maps relationships among identities, repositories, workflows, and dependencies to establish behavioral baselines and flag deviations that indicate risk.

Seamless GitHub onboarding

Deploy in minutes by installing the Exaforce GitHub App for your organization. Scopes are least privileged and read mostly by default. No agents, no fragile webhooks to maintain, and no manual tuning required.

Core capabilities

Monitor token and authentication use

Exaforce detects suspicious PAT, SSH, or OAuth token use, including leaked or reused tokens, unused scopes, and use from new geographies or autonomous systems. It factors in token privileges so that findings are more sensitive for high-privilege tokens, and traces each token’s activity back to the owning identity, device, and recent changes.

Detect potential code theft and exfiltration

It identifies mass clone or pull activity, unusual git fetch patterns, and suspicious commit behavior. Findings correlate with user cloud behavior, recent access grants, and SBOMs with impacted packages.

Network, ASN, and geolocation anomaly detection

Exaforce flags logins or API access from blocklisted countries, anonymizers, or unexpected ASNs. It distinguishes travel from takeover using historical patterns and multi-signal corroboration.

Identity correlation

Exaforce handles correlations of GitHub identities to corporate identities, endpoints, and cloud roles, building a unified investigation timeline and root cause analysis.

Repository and Actions visibility

Exaforce inspects GitHub Actions workflows, permissions, runners, artifacts, and secrets for risky behaviors such as unpinned actions, write token on forks, or self hosted runner exposure. It also provides insight into repository criticality and ownership, pull request hygiene, and dependency risk.

Posture and governance misconfigurations

Exaforce detects and prioritizes risky organization or repository posture, such as missing branch protection rules, unused repository access, and inactive users with lingering privileges or tokens. It highlights public forks, default branch direct pushes, secret exposure risk, and missing CODEOWNERS files.

AI triage to cut false positives

Exaforce’s agentic AI consolidates related findings, enriches them with identity and SBOM context, and automatically ranks urgency so teams focus on what truly matters.

Deep, guided investigations

Analysts can pivot from a detection into user, repository, and workflow timelines. They can follow token use, pull requests, approvals, Actions runs, and package changes in a single, clickable narrative using natural language queries or visual pivots.

Automated and guided response

Automated agents can take automated or approval gated actions, such as blocking users or creating an issue.

FAQs

How does Exaforce connect to GitHub?
Install the Exaforce GitHub App in your organization. We ingest audit events, repository and workflow metadata, and limited artifacts or secrets metadata. Optional response scopes enable automated containment.
What token risks can Exaforce detect?
We monitor UI, PAT, SSH, and OAuth token activity for anomalous use, scope drift, geolocation or ASN changes, known leak indicators, and unrotated or unused tokens with potentially high privilege, with identity correlation for fast attribution.
Can Exaforce detect code exfiltration?
Yes. Exaforce flags mass cloning or archival, suspicious download patterns, and unusual API clients, correlating with repository sensitivity and user context to minimize false positives.
How do posture checks work?
Exaforce evaluates organization and repository settings, including branch protection, collaborator access, Actions permissions, and user activity to prioritize risky misconfigurations and stale access.
