Secret Protection
and Supply Chain Security.,Configure secret scanning
manage security alerts
handle false positives
and apply appropriate policy exceptions.,Set up Dependabot to automate dependency updates and identify vulnerable software dependencies.,Use Dependency Review to assess dependency risks and security changes introduced through pull requests.,Understand Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and its role in software supply chain security.

Requirements

Basic familiarity with Git and GitHub repositories is helpful but not mandatory.

Description

Prepare for the GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) certification with six structured practice exams designed to help you review essential GitHub security features, strengthen your technical understanding, and assess your readiness for certification.

This course focuses on securing code, protecting sensitive information, managing vulnerable dependencies, and integrating automated security checks into the software development lifecycle. Whether you are a software developer, DevSecOps engineer, application security professional, GitHub administrator, or certification candidate, these practice exams help you reinforce your knowledge of GitHub Advanced Security concepts and workflows.

What You Will Learn

GitHub Advanced Security fundamentals: Understand Code Security, Secret Protection, Supply Chain Security, and the GitHub Security Overview dashboard.
Secret scanning: Learn how secret scanning identifies exposed credentials, how to manage alerts, and how to handle false positives and policy exceptions.
Dependabot and dependency management: Review automated dependency updates, vulnerability alerts, Dependency Review, version constraints, and update configurations.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM): Understand how SBOMs represent software components and support software supply chain security.
Code scanning with CodeQL: Explore CodeQL analysis, GitHub Actions integration, security alerts, vulnerability triage, and remediation workflows.
Security governance and best practices: Learn to prioritize security findings, establish policies, monitor security posture, and apply prevention-first strategies.

Why Choose These GHAS Practice Exams?

This course includes 6 practice exams with detailed explanations to help you evaluate your understanding of the major GitHub Advanced Security exam domains.

Each practice exam provides an opportunity to test your knowledge, identify areas that need further study, and revisit important security concepts. Detailed explanations help you understand why an answer is correct and clarify the reasoning behind key technical concepts.

The practice exams cover the following areas:

GHAS security features and functionality
Secret scanning configuration and alert management
Dependabot, Dependency Review, and dependency security
Code scanning and CodeQL
Security best practices, governance, and corrective measures

The content follows the supplied exam-domain distribution, with particular emphasis on dependency management and CodeQL-based code scanning.

Who Should Enroll?

This course is suitable for GitHub Advanced Security certification candidates, software developers, DevSecOps engineers, application security professionals, security engineers, GitHub administrators, and learners interested in secure software development.

Basic familiarity with Git and GitHub is helpful. Previous GHAS certification or professional experience with GitHub Advanced Security is not required, although some knowledge of software development and security concepts can make preparation easier.
