-GitLab provides a comprehensive set of features for viewing and managing vulnerabilities:
+You can use Security Dashboards to view details about vulnerabilities
+detected by [security scanners](../index.md#security-scanning-tools).
+These details are shown in pipelines, projects, and groups.
 
-- Security dashboards: An overview of the security status in your personal [Security Center](#security-center), [groups](#group-security-dashboard), and
-  [projects](#project-security-dashboard).
-- [Vulnerability reports](../vulnerability_report/index.md): Detailed lists of all vulnerabilities for the Security Center, group, project, or
-  pipeline. This is where you triage and manage vulnerabilities.
-- [Security Center](#security-center): A dedicated area for personalized vulnerability management. This
-  includes a security dashboard, vulnerability report, and settings.
+To use the Security Dashboards, you must:
 
-You can also drill down into a vulnerability and get extra information on the
-[Vulnerability Page](../vulnerabilities/index.md). This view includes the project it
-comes from, any related file(s), and metadata that helps you analyze the risk it poses.
-You can also confirm, dismiss, or resolve a vulnerability, create an issue for it,
-and in some cases, generate a merge request to fix the vulnerability.
+- Configure at least one [security scanner](../index.md#security-scanning-tools) in a project.
+- Configure jobs to use the [`reports` syntax](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports).
+- Use [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) 11.5 or later. If you use the
+  shared runners on GitLab.com, you are using the correct version.
 
-To benefit from these features, you must first configure one of the
-[security scanners](../index.md).
+## When Security Dashboards are updated
 
-## Supported reports
+The Security Dashboards show results of the most recent security scan on the
+[default branch](../../project/repository/branches/default.md).
+Security scans run only when the default branch updates, so
+information on the Security Dashboard might not reflect newly-discovered vulnerabilities.

+## Reduce false negatives in dependency scans
 
-## Prerequisites
+WARNING:
+False negatives occur when you resolve dependency versions during a scan, which differ from those
+resolved when your project built and released in a previous pipeline.

-   the [supported reports](#supported-reports).
-1. The configured jobs must use the [new `reports` syntax](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#artifactsreports).
-1. [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) 11.5 or newer must be used.
-   If you're using the shared runners on GitLab.com, this is already the case.
+To reduce false negatives in [dependency scans](../../../user/application_security/dependency_scanning/index.md) in scheduled pipelines, ensure you:
 
-## Pipeline Security
+- Include a lock file in your project. A lock file lists all transient dependencies and tracks their versions.
+  - Java projects can't have lock files.
+  - Python projects can have lock files, but GitLab Secure tools don't support them.
+- Configure your project for [Continuous Delivery](../../../ci/introduction/index.md).

-The Security Dashboard displays results of the most recent security scan on the

-only when the default branch is updated. Information on the Security Dashboard may not reflect
-newly-discovered vulnerabilities.
-
-To ensure the information on the Security Dashboard is regularly updated,
-[configure a scheduled pipeline](../../../ci/pipelines/schedules.md) to run a daily security scan.
-This updates the information displayed on the Security Dashboard regardless of how often the default
-branch is updated.
-
-WARNING:
-Running Dependency Scanning from a scheduled pipeline might result in false negatives if your
-project doesn't have a lock file and isn't configured for Continuous Delivery. A lock file is a file
-that lists all transient dependencies and keeps track of their exact versions. The false negative
-can occur because the dependency version resolved during the scan might differ from the ones
-resolved when your project was built and released, in a previous pipeline. Java projects can't have
-lock files. Python projects can have lock files, but GitLab Secure tools don't support them.
