Jira is a powerful project management and issue-tracking tool widely used by development teams to plan, track, and manage software projects.
It provides robust workflows, automation, and integrations that streamline collaboration between teams.
Integrating OX Security with Jira enhances security visibility within your existing development workflows.
This integration allows security issues and vulnerabilities detected by OX to be automatically logged as Jira issues, ensuring they are tracked, prioritized, and resolved alongside other development tasks.
By seamlessly embedding security insights into Jira, teams can maintain a proactive approach to risk management while minimizing workflow disruptions.
The integration process includes the following:
A Jira account.
Log in to your Atlassian account.
From your profile picture in the top-right corner select Profile.
In your profile settings page, select Manage your account and then select Security.
