# Create Account

> Learn how to create your CybeDefend account, set up an organization, and integrate your code repositories.

CybeDefend simplifies onboarding by allowing you to create an account through **OAuth2** (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, or GitLab). After signing in, you can form an **Organization** to group your projects and manage access. Once your repositories are connected, CybeDefend automatically starts scanning them.

   Choose the sign-up option of your choice (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, GitLab).

## 3. Connect Your Repositories

1. **Select Your Version Control Platform**\
   CybeDefend supports GitHub. Check out our [Detailed Integration Guides](/latest/get-started/connect-your-source-code/connect-github) for each platform.
2. **Authorize Access**\
   Approve read (and optionally write) permissions so we can scan your code.
3. **Pick Your Repositories**\
   Choose which repos to include in your **Organization**. You can assign them to specific teams or projects later.
4. **Instant Scanning**\
   As soon as you connect a repository, CybeDefend triggers an initial scan, identifying potential vulnerabilities.
