Zero Trust for GiHub
Zero Trust for GitHub Enterprise
Secure your source code with continuous identity, device, and contextual verification — built for modern SDLCs on GitHub.
Open Workflows — Open Attack Surface
As enterprises shift to cloud-based version control and collaboration, GitHub becomes the central repository for your most critical intellectual property. But this flexibility comes with major risks. From stolen credentials and unmanaged tokens to compromised developer machines or CI/CD runners — attackers now target the development environment, not just production servers. Traditional perimeters are gone. Without continuous verification of who, what device, and from where requests come, your code is exposed.
The Token Loophole
Why Device Trust Alone Falls Short
Modern identity- and device-trust solutions (SSO + device posture at login) provide a good first line of defense. But once a token or SSH key is issued, those protections vanish. As soon as a developer runs git clone or triggers CI/CD, the repository accepts the token — no further checks. This gap renders stolen credentials or compromised devices a serious threat, and device-trust solutions fail to block them outside of UI login flows.
That’s why you need a solution that verifies every request, not just the login — identity, device posture, and context must be re-evaluated on every access.
Zero Trust Enforcement — Native to GitHub
With EDAMAME, every interaction with GitHub Enterprise — whether via web UI, CLI (SSH/HTTPS), API, or CI/CD — is gated by continuous evaluation. Edamame checks:
That the request originates from a verified user identity (e.g. corporate SSO + device binding)
That the device meets security posture requirements (patch levels, disk encryption, anti-malware/EDR, firewall, integrity checks, etc.)
If either check fails, access is denied — no token, key, or credential can bypass these controls. Edamame then uses GitHub’s own Conditional Access and dynamic allow-listing mechanisms to enforce these decisions in real time.
This transforms GitHub Enterprise into a platform where trust is continuously verified, not assumed once at login.

In practice
Migrate Securely. Retain Control.
If you’re moving from on-prem Git to GitHub Enterprise Cloud, you don’t have to compromise security. With Edamame, you preserve the protection qualities of an air-gapped system — only now it’s dynamic, scalable, and cloud-native.
Existing identities and access controls (SSO, IdP) map directly into Edamame’s identity binding.
Instead of network walls, you get device posture + context-aware gating for every repository interaction.
CI/CD pipelines and runners remain secured: Edamame’s posture checks and integration with CI plugins ensure only compliant runners access code.
Migration can be phased: hybrid models (some on-prem repos, some cloud) work seamlessly under a unified security layer.
Real Threats. Real Protection.
Scenario Examples:
Stolen personal access token — blocked because device isn’t verified.
Compromised developer laptop — posture check fails, access revoked.
Rogue CI runner or compromised container — prevented from pulling secrets or code until posture validated.
Enterprise-Grade Security Without Developer Friction
Benefit Highlights:
Proactive mitigation of token leaks and supply chain attacks
Unified SDLC protection (dev, CI/CD, mobile, contractors)
Simplified compliance and audit readiness (SOC 2, ISO27001, NIS2, fintech regulations)
Developer-first: autonomy, flexibility, minimal friction — high adoption
