To help organizations prioritize security more effectively, Atlassian has unveiled Security in Jira for Jira Software Cloud. Software teams can use them to get visibility into the security issues that demand attention.

By collaborating with esteemed partners such as Snyk, Mend, Lacework, Stackhawk, and JFrog, Atlassian equips teams with the necessary tools to address security concerns efficiently and at an earlier stage.

Within the Jira Software ecosystem, software teams can now find solace in the Security tab, a unified location that allows them to manage all detected vulnerabilities across their security tools.

Simplifying prioritization, delegation, and task management for dev teams

Software teams can use the feature to filter and rank vulnerabilities based on their severity level. Such a feature empowers them to promptly address critical vulnerabilities, accelerating development speed while minimizing the risks associated with each release.

Through Jira’s configuration capabilities, critical vulnerabilities can be automatically transformed into issue-filled entities with intricate security details.

Furthermore, lower-priority vulnerabilities can seamlessly integrate into sprint planning, enabling developers to maintain focus, minimize unexpected disruptions, and prioritize security vulnerabilities.

One dashboard to view them all

Integrating security into existing workflows promotes adopting DevSecOps principles, making implementing security features and products a manageable goal.

Andrew Pankevicius, Senior Product Manager, DevOps at Jira Software at Atlassian, shared his enthusiasm in a blog post, encouraging teams to leverage Security in Jira to elevate security within their software development rituals.

Atlassian’s commitment to unleashing teams’ full potential aligns with their vision of enabling customers to deliver value at an accelerated pace, all the while ensuring the deployment of secure features and products.
