| 16 | +## About the public monitoring page |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The **Public monitoring** page is a dedicated view within the enterprise-level security overview. It displays alerts for secrets detected in public repositories across {% data variables.product.github %} that are attributed to your enterprise members or users with an email matching your enterprise's verified domain. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 21 | +> The Public monitoring page is available at the enterprise level only. It is not available at the organization level. |
| 22 | +
|
| 23 | +## Prerequisites |

| 25 | +Public monitoring must be enabled for your enterprise. See [AUTOTITLE](/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-enterprise-security/manage-your-coverage/enabling-public-monitoring-for-your-enterprise). |
