 ## How it works?
 
-To benefit from the Security Dashboard you must first configure the [Security Reports](./merge_requests/index.md#security-reports).
+To benefit from the Security Dashboard you must first configure the [Security Reports](merge_requests/index.md#security-reports).
 
 The Security Dashboard will then list security vulnerabilities from the latest pipeline run on the default branch (e.g., `master`).
-You will also be able to interact with the reports [the same way you can do on a merge request](./merge_requests/index.md#interacting-with-security-reports).

+
+## Keeping the Security Dashboard updated
+
+The Security Dashboard displays information from the results of the most recent security scan on the default branch. Security scans are performed every time the branch is updated.
+
+If the default branch is updated infrequently, scans are run infrequently and the information on the Security Dashboard can become outdated as new vulnerabilities are discovered.
+
+To ensure the information on the Security Dashboard is regularly updated, configure a [scheduled pipeline](pipelines/schedules.md) to run a daily security scan. This will update the information displayed on the Security Dashboard regardless of how often the default branch is updated.
+
+A daily security scan can be configured to only execute jobs that to relate to security. For more information on configuring security-related jobs, see:

+### Security scans using Auto DevOps
+
+When using [Auto DevOps](../../topics/autodevops/index.md), use [special environment variables](../../topics/autodevops/index.md#environment-variables) to configure daily security scans.
