🚀 @github's work to better secure the first link in the software supply chain with 2FA was a three-year journey and I am thrilled to have led an amazing team to bring it to life. We made a ton of progress in 2023, but there's more to come. github.blog/2024-04-24-secur…

ICYMI - This was a great chat about enrolling millions of @github users in 2FA, how user experience matters for security, and why culture _is_ a security control.

Talking 2FA at scale at @github as a means of protecting the software supply chain, starting with the developer. Thanks @MichaelNovinson!

If security isn't usable, it isn't security at all! Really enjoyed my conversation with @iainthomson, cheers!

.@OptumRx Messing up the delivery of a potentially lifesaving medication that is time sensitive twice, and then asking a customer to wait a few more days so you can pinch your pennies is unacceptable. #incompetent #inhumane #corporategreed #awfulheathcare

This work has been my focus since September of 2021. It's challenging and deeply impactful work I share it with a wonderful team of product, engineering, security, support, comms, and marketing folks who made the roadmap that led us here possible.
On March 13, we officially begin rolling out our requirement for all developers who contribute code on GitHub.com to enable 2FA by the end of 2023 ✨ Learn about the process & how you can help secure the software supply chain with 2FA: github.blog/2023-03-09-raisi…

I didn't have "defend democracy" on my work goals list when I joined GitHub, but I've had a number of real opportunities to do so in my time here. Grateful to our fantastic CELA/Policy teams for their leading work in this space.
Communities are key to steering digital transformation and maintaining societal infrastructure. That's why we work with like-minded organizations, governments, and civil society to make digital technologies work for democracy and human rights. github.blog/2022-09-21-why-w…

Confirming that this brings me happiness. We appreciate you!
Folks at @github care so much about your security that they get very happy when we turn on 2FA on our accounts. If you haven't done it yet, go and bring them some happiness 🎊🎊 #Security #MFA

Myles is my partner in anti-crime for this project and I'm excited to hit a home run with him and the rest of the amazing team of engineers, product professionals, comms folks, security practitioners, and field and support teams @github.
Helping to lead this initiative is a highlight of my career. As stewards of the Open Source ecosystem it is critical that GitHub does what is within our powers to secure the software supply chain. As the blog states "securing the software supply chain begins with the developer"

After a number of years in IR, this project is deeply fulfilling. The opportunity to help normalize and improve 2FA to secure the software supply chain is the opportunity of my professional lifetime.
Securing the software supply chain begins with the developer and we’re committed to raising the bar on account security. Today we’re announcing that users who contribute code on GitHub.com will be required to enable 2FA by the end of 2023. github.blog/2022-05-04-softw…
