# Security monitoring for the GitHub-hosted runner
[![Slack](https://img.shields.io/badge/Join%20the%20Community-Slack-blue)](https://join.slack.com/t/stepsecuritygroup/shared_invite/zt-11q5o2icy-9xuW51dJWQffFVl3DX98BQ)
If you have a self-hosted build server (e.g. Cloud VM), you may have security monitoring implemented on it. When you use GitHub Actions hosted-runner, you can use `harden-runner` to add security controls and monitoring to the build server (Ubuntu VM) on which GitHub Actions runs your workflows. Unlike traditional monitoring for Cloud VMs, `harden-runner` insights and policy are granular per job of a workflow.
## Prevent DNS exfiltration and exfiltration of credentials
First-of-its-kind patent-pending technology that automatically correlates outbound traffic with each step of a workflow.
1. Add `step-security/harden-runner` to your GitHub Actions workflow file as the first step.
```
steps:
- uses: step-security/harden-runner@14dc64f30986eaa2ad2dddcec073f5aab18e5a24 # v1
with:
egress-policy: audit
```
2. In the workflow logs, you will see a link to security insights and recommendations.

3. Click on the link ([example link](https://app.stepsecurity.io/github/jauderho/dockerfiles/actions/runs/1736506434)). You will see outbound traffic made by each step.

</p>
4. Add the recommended outbound endpoints to your workflow file, and only traffic to these endpoints will be allowed.
```
steps:
- uses: step-security/harden-runner@14dc64f30986eaa2ad2dddcec073f5aab18e5a24 # v1
with:
egress-policy: block
allowed-endpoints:
api.github.com:443
github.com:443
pypi.org:443
```
