Jit vs GitHub Advanced Security
Achieve broader security scanning coverage with Jit, while prioritizing security issues based on their runtime context, so you can focus on the vulnerabilities that really matter.

Jit
GitHub Advanced Security
Contextual prioritization to focus on real risks
Runtime context to prioritize real risks, like security issues that are in production, can access a database, and are exposed to the internet - watch demo
No runtime context
Developer UX: detect and resolve issues in the PR
Scanning + auto remediation for all code scanners. Includes runtime context for detected issues - watch demo
Only for SAST, no runtime context
PR gating for code security issues
PR gating for for issues detected by all code scanners
No PR gating for SCA issues
Fast onboarding across code repos, cloud resources, web apps and APIs
One-click activation across code scanners - watch demo
One-click activation across code scanners
Monitor security posture per application, service, or business unit
Group code and cloud resources by app, service, or business unit and monitor their security posture over time
No code or cloud resource grouping
Auto Remediation
For issues detected by SAST, SCA, IaC scanning, and CSPM
Only for issues detected by SAST
Org-based reporting
Monitor total issues over time, repo & cloud coverage, MTTR, developer engagement and more
Limited: Monitor total issues over time and repo coverage
Team-based reporting
Jit Teams provides a dedicated security portal for each dev team by mapping service ownership to teams - watch demo
Must manually open each repo to understand code security risks across teams
Align security with business objectives
Security Plans group scanners to fulfill specific use cases
No alignment toward business objectives
Code isn’t pulled to the cloud for analysis to minimize IP security risk
All scans run locally in the customer’s GitHub environment

Responsive and affordable customer support
No cost 24/5 Customer Support, implementation guidance, developer training, a dedicated Slack channel, and ad hoc guidance.
Tiered Customer Support and Professional Services that cost extra as support SLAs improve.
Dive deeper into Jit’s Advantage over GHAS
Code & Cloud Security Issues ≠ Vulnerabilities
Contextual Prioritization
Unlike GHAS, Jit prioritizes issues based on their runtime context to highlight those that are in production, are exposed to the internet, and have access to a sensitive database – among other factors.

Risk Scoring
All issues are scored based on their context, so that the highest risks remain at the top of your backlog. Risk scoring calculations can be easily edited by Jit admins.
Security-as-code management
Automatically triage issues that cross specific risk thresholds, like those that are in production, to the development team responsible for the relevant service.
The easiest way for developers to incorporate security into their routines
Dev-Native UX
Developers never leave their merge request to identify and resolve security issues before production
Change-based scanning
Immediate feedback on the security of every code change, so developers aren’t bombarded with issues
Auto Remediation
Developers can resolve with a click using Jit-suggested code fixes, so they don’t need to be security experts to consistently deliver secure code.
