Found means fixed: Secure code more than three times faster with Copilot Autofix

GitHub's advanced security feature, Copilot Autofix, is now generally available, offering AI-powered remediation to help developers fix vulnerabilities faster. It analyses code, explains vulnerabilities, and provides fixes, enabling developers to address issues more than three times quicker than doing so manually. This can be done for both new and existing code. In a public beta trial, from May to July 2024, Autofix demonstrated substantial reductions in remediation time. The technology uses the CodeQL engine, GPT-4o, and a combination of heuristics and GitHub Copilot APIs to generate code suggestions. It will be offered for free to all open-source projects beginning in September.
