Integrate Snyk with Jira

Connect Jira Software to Snyk so your team can view security containers (called targets in Snyk) and vulnerabilities (called security issues in Snyk) in Jira Software, as well as triage those vulnerabilities and quickly link them to Jira issues.

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, go to Apps > Explore more apps.

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

Add the Snyk Security in Jira app to a project

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

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

2. Select Snyk in the list of tools.
