GitHub Advanced Security and Its Two Products

Everything in this section ran free because BookNest is public. For private repositories the same features are sold as GitHub Advanced Security 29 (GHAS), which on 1 April 2025 was split into two products, billed per active committer (anyone who pushed to a covered repository in the last 90 days) and, for the first time, available to Team plans as well as Enterprise:

GitHub Advanced Security since April 2025 (github.com/security/plans, September 2026)

Dependabot alerts and security updates stay free everywhere. A team with eight active committers buying both pays 8 × ($19 + $30) = $392 a month on top of its plan. Free scanners cover part of the ground and upload via SARIF: gitleaks 29,524 (https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks 29,524 ) or TruffleHog 28,147 (https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog 28,147 ) for secrets, Semgrep 44,468 or Trivy 67,732 for code and dependencies. They lack GitHub 29 's partner revocation, server-side push protection and CodeQL's data-flow analysis.
