Integrate with a security tool

For your team to be able to view security vulnerabilities in Jira Software, you need to:

1. Install an Atlassian Marketplace app for your security tool.

2. Set up the app for your security tool.

3. Connect security containers from your security tool to Jira Software.

Install an app for your security tool

Install an Atlassian Marketplace app for your security tool to connect it to Jira Software.

The security feature has a list of supported security tools and links to their Atlassian Marketplace apps.

Once the security feature is enabled in your project:

1. From your project's sidebar, select Security.

2. Under Add a security tool to Jira, find your security tool and select Get it now. Or, select the more actions icon () in the top-right, then select Add and configure tools.

3. Review the information about the security tool’s app, and select Get it now.

The app you’ve selected will now be installed on your Jira Software site.

Set up the app for your security tool

Once you finish installing the app, select Configure now to set it up.

Every app has a slightly different setup process, so follow the instructions on the screen. Your security tool may ask you to do things like log in or verify your credentials, grant Jira Software access to containers in your security tool, or generate an activation key.

When the app set up is complete, return to Jira Software to connect security containers to your project.

Connect security containers to your project

When you’re back in Jira Software:

1. From your project's sidebar, go to Project settings > Toolchain.

2. Find your security tool in the list, and select the add connection button ().

3. Choose the container from the list and select Add container.

Once a container has been connected, your team can now use the security feature in that project to view recent vulnerabilities found in that container, and start linking them to issues.
