Integrate with Snyk

Use the Snyk Security for Jira Cloud app to connect Jira Software to Snyk.

Once connected, this app allows your team to:

• view security containers (called targets in Snyk) and vulnerabilities (called security issues in Snyk) in Jira Software

• triage vulnerabilities using the security feature in Jira

• link vulnerabilities to Jira issues to track them in Jira

Before you begin

In many organizations, the task of connecting Snyk is split between two team members:

• A site admin will install the Snyk Security in Jira Cloud app, and connect it to a Snyk account.

• A project admin will add the Snyk Security in Jira Cloud app to a project and connect the relevant security containers.

Install the Snyk Security in Jira Cloud app

Install the Snyk Security for Jira Cloud app from the Atlassian Marketplace to connect Snyk to your Jira Software site.

1. From the top navigation, select Apps, then select Explore more apps.

2. Search for Snyk Security in Jira Cloud, then select it from the list.

3. Select Get app, then Get it now.

Set up Snyk Security in Jira

1. If you have just installed the app, select Get started. If the app is already installed on your Jira site, you can find this section by selecting Apps, then Manage your apps, and then Snyk Security in Jira.

2. Select Continue.

3. Select Snyk Security in Jira, then Next.

4. Select Log in to your account.

5. Select Grant access to allow Snyk to read your Jira Software account information.

6. Select a Snyk group or a specific Snyk organization to connect to your Jira site, and select Grant app access.

Add the Snyk Security in Jira Cloud app to a project

To track Snyk vulnerabilities in Jira, you need to add Snyk Security in Jira Cloud to a project. When you’re back in Jira Software:

1. From your project's sidebar, select Project settings, then select Toolchain.

2. Select Add, then Add tool.

3. Find Snyk Security in Jira, then select Add to project.

Connect security containers to your project

The final stage is to connect security containers (Snyk targets) to your project.

1. From your project's sidebar, select Project settings, then select Toolchain.

2. Select the Add dropdown, then Add tool.

3. Search for Snyk Security in Jira.

4. Select Add to project.

5. Choose one or more containers from the list and select Add container.

Your team can now use the security feature to view recent vulnerabilities found in the linked security containers, and start linking security vulnerabilities to Jira issues.
