Work with security vulnerabilities in Jira

Connecting a security tool lets you use the security feature in Jira.

This means you can view security containers and vulnerabilities in Jira, as well as triage those vulnerabilities and quickly link them to work items.

Your team can assess each vulnerability (based on factors like severity or how complex the fix is), link it to a work item, add the work item to your sprint or backlog, and track it until it’s resolved.

By turning unplanned security vulnerabilities into manageable work, you can improve your team’s focus on security while still maintaining your regular workload balance and rituals.
