Security overview alert-centric view dynamic grouping (beta)

[github-product-roadmap]

Summary

This feature enhances the three alert-centric views (Dependabot, code scanning, and secret scanning) in security overview by enabling you to dynamically group alerts by various attributes such as repository, ecosystem, CVE, and team.

Intended Outcome

Enterprise users need to be able to group the number of security alerts by specific attributes, such as a particular CVE or team. Currently, the only way to do this is to download data via the REST API and summarize it in a spreadsheet. This feature aims to provide users with more dynamic views to quickly identify the most critical security risks and prioritize remediation efforts.

How will it work?

You will be able to select an attribute to group by via a drop-down at the top of each of the three alert-centric views: Dependabot, code scanning, and secret scanning. Security alerts will be grouped by the selected attribute, and aggregate counts will be displayed, similar to how GitHub Projects functions.
