Sonatype for Jira

Jira is an issue-tracking tool that’s mainly used by software developers to prioritize bugs and improvements for their software applications.

  • Automatically creates tickets for violations found in your applications, within the projects associated with those applications

  • Report violations to development teams that are already using Jira

  • Automatically transition tickets once they have been remediated

Ensuring Quality

DevSecOps empowers development teams with ownership in deploying and monitoring their applications. Automation is the key to achieving the goals of developing your applications faster while ensuring the quality and security of the open-source components used in your application.

The Sontype for Jira plugins provides automation in the creation and resolution of Jira tickets for open-source violations so your development teams can focus on application security. The plugin uses a webhook event to trigger the creation of tickets when new policy violations occur.
