SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 12, 2026--
Aceiss today announced the launch of a new offering on the Microsoft GitHub Marketplace, delivering real-time access, observability, and automated threat detection across the GitHub environment — from code repositories and user accounts to bots, agents, and third-party applications. Unlike traditional security tools that focus on isolated aspects of GitHub, Aceiss is the only solution that provides a unified, authorization-aware view of effective access across all GitHub identities on a single platform.
With over 100 million developers and more than 3 million organizations storing their most valuable assets in GitHub — including proprietary source code, AI models, and LLM technologies — GitHub has become one of the most sensitive and targeted surfaces in the modern enterprise. A single compromised identity can allow attackers to modify or replace legitimate code, introduce malicious dependencies, or quietly persist across repositories, leading to severe downstream impact — from supply-chain compromise to operational shutdown and ransom events.
Yet most organizations lack visibility into how GitHub access is actually used in practice. Security teams can see permissions and roles, but not whether those entitlements are exercised in unexpected or risky ways. Orphaned accounts, dormant tokens, over-privileged bots, and third-party integrations often persist unnoticed — not because of misconfiguration, but because existing tools cannot correlate access entitlements with real authorization activity at runtime.
Most existing tools analyze static permissions or narrow slices of activity, leaving security teams blind to effective access across the full GitHub identity surface.
Aceiss closes this gap with access-observability technology purpose-built for modern developer environments. The platform automatically inventories GitHub identities and access points, correlates entitlements with real authorization behavior, and continuously detects anomalous usage patterns — without invasive deployment or excessive API consumption. This architecture enables enterprise-scale visibility and least-privilege insight that GitHub’s native tooling and traditional security solutions cannot provide on their own.
“With the rise of automated agents, CI/CD systems, and AI-driven development workflows, identity sprawl inside GitHub is accelerating faster than traditional security models can keep up,” said Lloyd O'Connor, Chief Executive Officer at Aceiss. “Security teams can’t protect what they can’t see, and most existing tools only expose static permissions — not how access is actually exercised. Aceiss delivers real-time visibility into effective access so organizations can detect and remediate risk as it occurs, without disrupting developer velocity.”
What Makes Aceiss Different for Security Organizations
Unified Access Observability — The only platform providing authorization-aware visibility across repositories, users, bots, agents, and authorized applications in a single view — revealing who can access and who does access critical assets.
Enterprise-Scale Discovery — Aceiss overcomes GitHub API constraints through optimized, read-only data collection and authorization telemetry, enabling comprehensive analysis of large and complex GitHub environments that other tools cannot support.
Continuous Monitoring with Intelligent Response — Real-time detection of anomalous access behavior, excessive privilege, and compliance risk. By establishing behavioral baselines, Aceiss Intelligence identifies deviations, recommends least-privilege changes, and supports rapid remediation.
Immediate Deployment and Insight — Once installed by a GitHub administrator, organizations gain meaningful access visibility within minutes, not months — without replacing existing identity, governance, or security systems.
