The GitHub integration enables Neo to perform automated security reviews on pull requests, monitor repositories for vulnerabilities, and provide contextual security feedback directly in your development workflow. Install the Neo app for GitHub on your organization or repositories. Configure which repositories Neo should monitor and set review policies in your Neo dashboard.

​
How it works

Neo connects to GitHub to enhance your code security:
  • Pull request reviews: Automatically review PRs for security issues and post findings as comments
  • Commit monitoring: Scan commits for secrets, credentials, and security anti-patterns
  • Issue creation: Generate GitHub issues for discovered vulnerabilities
  • Status checks: Add security status checks to PRs, blocking merges when critical issues are found
  • Repository insights: Monitor repositories for dependency vulnerabilities and outdated packages

Use cases

Use CaseHow Neo Helps
Secure code reviewsReview every pull request for common security vulnerabilities including SQL injection, XSS, and other OWASP Top 10 issues. Provide educational feedback to developers on secure coding practices.
Secrets detectionScan commits and PRs for accidentally committed API keys, tokens, and credentials. Alert immediately when secrets are detected before they reach production.
Dependency managementMonitor dependencies for known vulnerabilities. Create PRs to update vulnerable dependencies and track security advisories for packages used in your projects.
Feature security assessmentsTrigger comprehensive security reviews when new features are merged. Assess authentication, authorization, and data handling in new code. Generate security documentation for significant changes.
