Episode 124: Code Repositories and Access Controls

Source code repositories are central to modern software development—and to software security. This episode covers the security considerations for using platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and internal repositories. We examine access control policies, branching strategies, commit tracking, and how to detect malicious code changes. You’ll learn about secrets scanning, signed commits, and repository hardening. CISSPs must understand how to secure the development pipeline and enforce controls that protect intellectual property and prevent code tampering at its source.
