About the security overview

About the security overview

You can use the security overview for a high-level view of the security status of your organization or to identify problematic repositories that require intervention. At the organization-level, the security overview displays aggregate and repository-specific security information for repositories owned by your organization. At the team-level, the security overview displays repository-specific security information for repositories that the team has admin privileges for. For more information, see "Managing team access to an organization repository."

The security overview indicates whether security features are enabled for repositories owned by your organization and consolidates alerts for each feature. Security features include GitHub Advanced Security features, such as escaneo de código and escaneo de secretos, as well as Las alertas del dependabot. For more information about GitHub Advanced Security features, see "About GitHub Advanced Security." For more information about Las alertas del dependabot, see "About alerts for vulnerable dependencies."

For more information about securing your code at the repository and organization levels, see "Securing your repository" and "Securing your organization."

In the security overview, you can view, sort, and filter alerts to understand the security risks in your organization and in specific repositories. You can apply multiple filters to focus on areas of interest. For example, you can identify private repositories that have a high number of Las alertas del dependabot or repositories that have no escaneo de código alerts.

For each repository in the security overview, you will see icons for each type of security feature and how many alerts there are of each type. If a security feature is not enabled for a repository, the icon for that feature will be grayed out.

By default, archived repositories are excluded from the security overview for an organization. You can apply filters to view archived repositories in the security overview. For more information, see "Filtering the list of alerts."

The security overview displays active alerts raised by security features. If there are no alerts in the security overview for a repository, undetected security vulnerabilities or code errors may still exist.

Filtering the list of alerts

Filter by level of risk for repositories

The level of risk for a repository is determined by the number and severity of alerts from security features. If one or more security features are not enabled for a repository, the repository will have an unknown level of risk. If a repository has no risks that are detected by security features, the repository will have a clear level of risk.
