Security overview provides insights into the security of code stored in repositories in your organization.

The information below describes the views available to organizations with GitHub Secret Protection or GitHub Code Security that you can use to identify trends in detection, remediation, and prevention of security alerts and dig deep into the current state of your repositories.

About the views

Remarque

All views show information and metrics for the default branches of the repositories you have permission to view in an organization or enterprise.

The views are interactive with filters that allow you to look at the aggregated data in detail and identify sources of high risk, see security trends, and see the impact of pull request analysis on blocking security vulnerabilities entering your code. As you apply multiple filters to focus on narrower areas of interest, all data and metrics across the view change to reflect your current selection. For more information, see Filtrage des alertes dans la vue d’ensemble de la sécurité.

Depuis la vue d’ensemble de la sécurité, vous pouvez télécharger des fichiers de valeurs séparées par des virgules (CSV) contenant les données de plusieurs pages de la vue d’ensemble de la sécurité de votre organisation ou de votre entreprise. Ces fichiers peuvent être utilisés pour des activigés comme la recherche en matière de sécurité et l'analyse approfondie des données, et s'intègrent facilement à des jeux de données externes. For more information, see Exportation de données de la vue d’ensemble de la sécurité.

There are dedicated views for each type of security alert. You can limit your analysis to a specific type of alert, and then narrow the results further with a range of filters specific to each view. For example, in the secret scanning alert view, you can use the "Secret type" filter to view only Alertes d’analyse de secrets for a specific secret, like a GitHub personal access token.

Remarque

Security overview displays active alerts raised by security features. If there are no alerts shown in security overview for a repository, undetected security vulnerabilities or code errors may still exist or the feature may not be enabled for that repository.

About security overview for organizations

The application security team at your company can use the different views for both broad and specific analyses of your organization's security status. For example, the team can use the "Overview" dashboard view to track your organization's security landscape and progression.

You can find security overview on the Security tab for any organization. Each view shows a summary of the data that you have access to. As you add filters, all data and metrics across the view change to reflect the repositories or alerts that you've selected. For information about permissions, see Permission to view data in security overview.

Security overview has multiple views that provide different ways to explore enablement and alert data.

You also create and manage security campaigns to remediate alerts from security overview, see Création et gestion de campagnes de sécurité and Best practices for fixing security alerts at scale.

About security overview for enterprises

You can find security overview on the Security tab for your enterprise. Each page displays aggregated and repository-specific security information for your enterprise.

As with security overview for organizations, security overview for enterprises has multiple views that provide different ways to explore data.

For information about permissions, see Permission to view data in security overview.
