Explanation

The 'Custom' notification setting lets you subscribe to specific event types for a repository, including security alerts, without receiving all activity notifications. 'All Activity' sends notifications for every event, which can be noisy. 'Participating and @mentions' only alerts you when you are directly involved. 'Ignore' suppresses all notifications. Only 'Custom' lets you selectively opt into security alerts.
