Even if your company doesn't use GitHub, developers may use it for their side projects. It's easy to push sensitive data to a personal project. Sometimes developers are inexperienced, other times, it's a test that was overlooked, and sometimes they just forget that the repository is public.It's also highly likely that subcontractors copy and paste code more often than anyone else. And even if sensitive information is removed from the actual version of the source code, the entire git history is still accessible to everyone.
Most developers use the same GitHub account for personal and professional projects, occasionally mixing the repositories. 80% of corporate leaks on public GitHub occur on developers’ personal repositories. You have no authority to enforce any preventive security measures here. Leaks also happen in the repositories of your subcontractors. It's a blind spot as these accounts are not accessible to you by default.
A large number of alerts turn out to be false positives. The time and effort required to process all of this data are considerable. Additionally, working on time-consuming, repetitive alerts day after day can be exhausting. Moreover, it is difficult to discern what deserves attention and follow-up from what does not because of the enormous number of false positives.
It's common for crucial information that you need to handle an incident to either not be communicated at all or to be unstructured, which makes further investigation and analysis challenging.
