Security scanners are essential, but not every finding requires action. Test code, vendored dependencies, generated files, and known false positives create noise that buries the vulnerabilities that actually matter. Security teams waste hours manually dismissing the same irrelevant findings across projects and pipelines. They experience slower triage, alert fatigue, and developer friction that und...

However, it is essential for organizations to carefully consider their criteria and dismissal reasons to ensure that relevant findings are not overlooked. The examples provided in the article can serve as a starting point, but each organization should tailor its policies to its specific needs and context.
