Allison shares that GitHub enterprise admins can now configure a dedicated contact email for security incident notifications, helping organizations streamline their response workflows.

Security Contact Email Setting for Enterprise Incident Notifications

GitHub enterprise administrators can now assign a specific contact email address to receive security incident notifications for their organization.

Key Points

  • Feature Location: Accessible by navigating to Settings > Profile in the enterprise account.
  • Purpose: This new, optional field lets organizations direct all security communications to a single designated email, rather than defaulting to organization or enterprise admins.
  • Fallback Behavior: If the field is left blank, notifications will continue to route to the existing admin recipients.
  • Benefits:
    • Centralizes critical alert destinations
    • Helps ensure prompt awareness of incidents
    • Supports faster, more efficient incident response and organizational workflows

Who is This For?

  • GitHub enterprise owners and administrators looking to improve management of security communications

How to Enable

  1. Log in to your GitHub enterprise account
  2. Go to Settings > Profile
  3. Enter your preferred security contact email address
  4. Save changes
