+### Preview: Security assessments for GitHub no longer requires additional licensing
+
+July 22, 2024
+
+GitHub users in Defender for Cloud no longer need a GitHub Advanced Security license to view security findings. This applies to security assessments for code weaknesses, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities in container images that are detected during the build phase.
+
+Customers with GitHub Advanced Security will continue to receive additional security assessments in Defender for Cloud for exposed credentials, vulnerabilities in open source dependencies, and CodeQL findings.
