What happened
GitHub introduced a dedicated policy setting to manage Copilot application access. Enterprise admins can now dictate which developers and third-party tools interact with Copilot features. The change gives security teams direct oversight over AI assistant access across their repositories.
The context
Companies need tighter security controls as AI tools integrate into development workflows. Centralized policy controls help IT teams prevent unauthorized access and protect corporate codebases.
