Summary

  • More GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers can now start a self-serve GitHub Advanced Security trial to evaluate GitHub Code Security and GitHub Secret Protection.
  • Eligibility has expanded.

GitHub has expanded access to its self-serve GitHub Advanced Security trial for additional GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers, enabling evaluation of GitHub Code Security and GitHub Secret Protection.

The expansion is based on a GitHub Blog post dated September 9, 2026, which notes the broader eligibility and access to the trial.

WHAT CHANGED

Eligibility for the self-serve trial has been expanded, allowing more enterprises within GitHub Enterprise Cloud to participate and evaluate the security features included in GitHub Advanced Security. TechStaged has also covered Windows 11 ARM64 image with Visual Studio 2026 GA on GitHub-hosted runners.

WHO IS AFFECTED

GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers looking to evaluate GitHub Code Security and GitHub Secret Protection through a self-serve trial are now eligible to participate under the expanded criteria.

WHY IT MATTERS

Expanding trial access lowers barriers to evaluating the security capabilities of GitHub Advanced Security, including Code Security and Secret Protection, for more Enterprise Cloud customers.

NEXT STEPS

Customers interested in trying the feature can sign up through the self-serve trial process referenced in the GitHub Blog post for more information on eligibility and enrollment.
