Impact
An unprotected branch can have a wide range of negative impact on an organization. Here are some examples:
-
Security Breach: An unprotected branch can allow attackers to make unauthorized changes to the organization’s codebase, leading to security vulnerabilities and data breaches.
-
Compliance Issues: An unprotected branch can make it difficult to enforce regulatory or compliance requirements, exposing the organization to legal liabilities, fines, or other penalties.
-
Operational Disruptions: An unprotected branch can lead to conflicts between different development efforts and make it difficult to manage the organization’s overall development workflow.
-
Delayed Detection of Issues: Without proper review and testing processes, issues such as bugs or performance problems may go unnoticed until they cause significant problems in production.
