Enabling Dependabot for your enterprise

About Dependabot for GitHub AE

Dependabot helps users of your enterprise find and fix vulnerabilities in their dependencies.

With Dependabot alerts, GitHub identifies insecure dependencies in repositories and creates alerts on your enterprise, using data from the GitHub Advisory Database and the dependency graph service.

Agregamos asesorías a la GitHub Advisory Database desde los siguientes orígenes:

• Asesorías de seguridad que se reportan en GitHub
• La base de datos de vulnerabilidades nacional
• La base de datos de advertencias de seguridad de npm
• La base de datos FriendsOfPHP
• La base de datos Go Vulncheck
• La base de datos de asesoramiento de empaquetado de Python
• La base de datos de asesoramiento de Ruby
• La base de datos de asesoramiento de RustSec
• Aportaciones de la comunidad. Para más información, vea https://github.com/github/advisory-database/pulls.

Si conoce otra base de datos de la que deberíamos importar avisos, háganoslo saber si abre un problema en https://github.com/github/advisory-database.

After you enable Dependabot alerts for your enterprise, vulnerability data is synced from the GitHub Advisory Database to your instance once every hour. Only GitHub-reviewed advisories are synchronized. Para obtener más información, consulta "Exploración de avisos de seguridad en GitHub Advisory Database".

You can also choose to manually sync vulnerability data at any time. For more information, see "Viewing the vulnerability data for your enterprise."

When your enterprise receives information about a vulnerability, it identifies repositories in your enterprise that use the affected version of the dependency and generates Dependabot alerts. You can choose whether or not to notify users automatically about new Dependabot alerts.

For repositories with Dependabot alerts enabled, scanning is triggered on any push to the default branch that contains a manifest file or lock file. Additionally, when a new vulnerability record is added to your enterprise, GitHub AE scans all existing repositories on your enterprise and generates alerts for any repository that is vulnerable. For more information, see "About Dependabot alerts."

Enabling Dependabot alerts

Before you can enable Dependabot alerts:

• You must enable GitHub Connect. For more information, see "Managing GitHub Connect."

1. En la esquina superior derecha de GitHub AE, haga clic en la foto de perfil y luego en Configuración de empresa.

2. En la barra lateral de la cuenta empresarial, haga clic en GitHub Connect .

3. Under "Repositories can be scanned for vulnerabilities", select the drop-down menu and click Enabled without notifications. Optionally, to enable alerts with notifications, click Enabled with notifications.

   Tip: We recommend configuring Dependabot alerts without notifications for the first few days to avoid an overload of emails. After a few days, you can enable notifications to receive Dependabot alerts as usual.
