If your organization uses version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, you probably are aware that code as intellectual property is the most valuable asset inside your company—you and your team spent thousands of hours (and money) to write, support, and improve projects. As CTO, IT manager, software-house owner, or team leader—you probably can imagine how much it would cost you to lose the code your team has been working on for months.
But is it even possible? Data breaches, systems downtime, policy changes, and more—all of those factors can limit access to your repositories on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and put your intellectual property at risk. Without proper protection of your IP, your business might not be able to harness the full potential of code created by your employees.
