The security center is a configurable personal space with vulnerabilities data from multiple projects. You can add up to 1,000 projects to the security center from any of the projects that you belong to.

[!note] The Project list in the security center settings page displays a maximum of 100 projects. To find projects that are not shown in the first 100 projects, use the search filter.

The security center displays:

  • A security dashboard for the projects you've added.
  • A vulnerability report for the projects you've added.
  • A settings area to add or remove projects.

View the security center

To view the security center:

  1. In the top bar, select Search or go to.
  2. Select Your work.
  3. Select Security > Security dashboard.

The security center is empty by default. You must add one or more projects that have been configured with at least one security scanner.

Add projects to the security center

To add projects:

  1. In the top bar, select Search or go to.
  2. Select Your work.
  3. Expand Security.
  4. Select Settings.
  5. Use the Search your projects text box to search for and select projects.
  6. Select Add projects.

After you add projects, the security dashboard and vulnerability report show the vulnerabilities found in those projects' default branches.

Remove projects from the security center

The security center displays a maximum of 100 projects, so you might need to use the search function to remove a project. To remove projects:

  1. In the top bar, select Search or go to.
  2. Select Your work.
  3. Expand Security.
  4. Select Settings.
  5. Use the Search your projects text box to search for the project.
  6. Select Remove project from dashboard ({{< icon name="remove" >}}).

After you remove projects, the security dashboard and vulnerability report no longer show the vulnerabilities found in those projects' default branches.
