## About alerts for vulnerable dependencies on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}

{% data reusables.repositories.tracks-vulnerabilities %} For more information, see "[About alerts for vulnerable dependencies](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/about-alerts-for-vulnerable-dependencies)."
To identify vulnerable dependencies in your repository and receive vulnerability alerts, you can use two security features:
- The dependency graph
- {% ifversion ghes > 2.21 %}{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}{% else %}Security{% endif %} alerts

For more information, see "[About the dependency graph](/code-security/supply-chain-security/understanding-your-software-supply-chain/about-the-dependency-graph)" and "[About alerts for vulnerable dependencies](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/about-alerts-for-vulnerable-dependencies)."

{% data reusables.repositories.tracks-vulnerabilities %}

You can connect {% data variables.product.product_location %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, then sync vulnerability data to your instance and generate {% ifversion ghes > 2.21 %}{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}{% else %}security{% endif %} alerts in repositories with a vulnerable dependency.

After connecting {% data variables.product.product_location %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} and enabling {% ifversion ghes > 2.21 %}{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}{% else %}security{% endif %} alerts for vulnerable dependencies, vulnerability data is synced from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} to your instance once every hour. You can also choose to manually sync vulnerability data at any time. No code or information about code from {% data variables.product.product_location %} is uploaded to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.
After connecting {% data variables.product.product_location %} to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} and enabling the dependency graph and {% ifversion ghes > 2.21 %}{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}{% else %}security{% endif %} alerts for vulnerable dependencies, vulnerability data is synced from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} to your instance once every hour. You can also choose to manually sync vulnerability data at any time. No code or information about code from {% data variables.product.product_location %} is uploaded to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.

{% ifversion ghes > 2.21 %}When {% data variables.product.product_location %} receives information about a vulnerability, it will identify repositories in your instance that use the affected version of the dependency and generate {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_alerts %}. You can customize how you receive {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_alerts %}. For more information, see "[Configuring notifications for vulnerable dependencies](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/configuring-notifications-for-vulnerable-dependencies/#configuring-notifications-for-dependabot-alerts)."
