Case Study: Cresta achieves stronger security and faster development with GitHub Advanced Security

Cresta turns security into a competitive advantage with GitHub Advanced Security

Cresta, an AI-driven contact center intelligence company, needed to move fast while keeping its software secure as its developers shipped new features. With a large engineering team and a growing codebase, the company wanted to reduce vulnerabilities without slowing down development, and turned to GitHub Advanced Security to help.

GitHub implemented GitHub Advanced Security across Cresta’s workflow with CodeQL, Secret Scanning, Dependabot, and GitHub Actions to scan code in pull requests and automate fixes. The result was a smoother DevSecOps process, faster remediation, and stronger developer-security collaboration—about 80% of developers were fixing issues directly in pull requests, and Cresta said it was up and running within 24 hours.
