Production-Aware Dependabot Alerts (in partnership with JFrog Artifactory) #1147
Description
Value Prop
Customers using JFrog Artifactory alongside GitHub’s security products have often struggled to connect vulnerability alerts in source code with the true risks facing their production environments. With our new integration, JFrog Artifactory will automatically send authoritative artifact metadata to GitHub, enabling Dependabot to surface and prioritize only those alerts that impact artifacts actually stored in your production-approved package repositories. This integration reduces alert fatigue and ensures security teams spend their time remediating vulnerabilities that represent real, actionable risk to production systems, improving both focus and efficiency.
Expected Outcome
With this integration, teams will gain end-to-end traceability across their software supply chain, from code to production. Dependabot alerts will become more targeted and relevant, highlighting only vulnerabilities that could affect software deployed from your approved Artifactory repositories. Security and engineering teams will benefit from streamlined workflows, faster remediation, and greater confidence that their efforts are protecting their critical systems.
