Embedding security directly in GitHub: the CONSOLE integration component.

One of the CONSOLE Project’s core objectives is to embed security into the daily workflows of software developers. To achieve this, CyberAlytics Limited (CBRL) has led the development of the GitHub Integration Component, enabling seamless repository-level connections with the CONSOLE platform.

Security inside the developer's workflow.

Rather than asking developers to leave their familiar tools, the integration brings CONSOLE’s automated security analysis directly into GitHub. From the moment a commit or pull request is made, the platform can trigger code checks, flag vulnerabilities, and generate security insights in real time. Console can also create these triggers programmatically using the GitHub API, enabling seamless integration with custom workflows. Additionally, it supports scheduled code checks, allowing security analysis to run at regular intervals even without a specific trigger.

Continuous and automated protection.

This integration transforms the software lifecycle by embedding checks at critical points—commit, push, and review. Vulnerability detection modules run automatically, and results are shared back within GitHub through alerts and annotations. Developers can address issues early, reducing both risks and remediation costs.

Supporting SMEs and secure-by-design practices.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, adopting advanced cybersecurity practices often comes with high barriers. The GitHub integration lowers these barriers by offering tools within the environments SMEs already use. This shift-left approach helps teams build security into their applications from the start, without disrupting productivity.

Looking ahead.

Future releases will expand integration support to other repository services such as GitLab and Bitbucket, while strengthening links between detected issues and CONSOLE’s training modules. This will further enable developers not only to fix vulnerabilities but also to understand and prevent them.
