Enable Dependabot alerts for organizations

“

- [Instructor] Once again, this is a call-out that, if you're an organizational admin, you set policy for N number of repositories that are owned by the organization, and we've got inheritance happening as well. We can do organizational security settings, and this is going to give us consistency. We can establish security and Dependabot policy once at the org level, and have those policies cascade through inheritance throughout our org. Benefits of centralized management, well, from a security standpoint, doing so streamlines alert visibility and response. And again, you've got standardization, which is important, especially for businesses that need to qualify against regulatory or industry compliance certifications. It's nice to be able to demonstrate and report on that you've got consistent standardized security policies in your GitHub infrastructure.
