| [Container Scanning](container_scanning/index.md) | A job runs on a daily basis to build new images with the latest vulnerability database updates from the upstream scanner. GitLab monitors this job through an internal alert that tells the engineering team when the database becomes more than 48 hours old. For more information, see the [Vulnerabilities database update](container_scanning/index.md#vulnerabilities-database). |
| [Dependency Scanning](dependency_scanning/index.md) | Relies on the [GitLab Advisory Database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db). It is updated on a daily basis using [data from NVD, the `ruby-advisory-db` and the GitHub Advisory Database as data sources](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db/-/blob/master/SOURCES.md). See our [current measurement of time from CVE being issued to our product being updated](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/performance-indicators/#cve-issue-to-update). |
| [Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)](dast/index.md) | The scanning engine is updated on a periodic basis. See the [version of the underlying tool `zaproxy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/blob/main/Dockerfile#L1). The scanning rules are downloaded at scan runtime. |
+| [Secret Detection](secret_detection/index.md#detected-secrets) | GitLab maintains the [detection rules](secret_detection/index.md#detected-secrets) and [accepts community contributions](secret_detection/index.md#adding-new-patterns). The scanning engine is updated at least once per month if a relevant update is available. |
| [Static Application Security Testing (SAST)](sast/index.md) | The source of scan rules depends on which [analyzer](sast/analyzers.md) is used for each [supported programming language](sast/index.md#supported-languages-and-frameworks). GitLab maintains a ruleset for the Semgrep-based analyzer and updates it regularly based on internal research and user feedback. For other analyzers, the ruleset is sourced from the upstream open-source scanner. Each analyzer is updated at least once per month if a relevant update is available. |
In versions of GitLab that use the same major version of the analyzer, you do not have to update
