The security center provides a single location to review security issues and findings, and their severity. It automatically triggers an implicit security analysis whenever you create a component, or commit changes to the repository linked to a component, and displays the results. It displays the results of these scans with a rich context, such as the line of code where a security issue is discovered, and details from the security tool including reference links and remediation suggestions. It can also, where available, display results from security tools added in explicit workflows.
In CloudBees platform:
-
Issues are security issues reported by security tools.
-
Findings are individual occurrences of a security issue reported in a branch, file, or code location.
-
Severity is the rating reported by the security tool that discovered the finding.
