Jira

What is Jira?

Jira is Atlassian's project and issue tracking platform, widely adopted across software development and IT operations teams. In security operations contexts, Jira serves as the system of record for vulnerability remediation workflows, security incident tracking, and compliance task management. Security teams use it to create structured tickets for each finding that requires action, assign ownership to specific teams or individuals, set deadlines, and track progress through defined workflow states. Jira's integration capabilities allow SOAR platforms and SIEM tools to create tickets automatically when certain conditions are met, and to update ticket status as response actions are completed. This bidirectional sync means that the security operations team's work is visible to the broader organization through the same tooling already used by engineering and IT.

How does Jira work with Qevlar?

Qevlar integrates with Jira to create and update remediation tickets as part of automated investigation outcomes. When an investigation concludes that a finding requires human action, Qevlar can open a Jira ticket with the relevant context, severity, and recommended remediation steps already populated, reducing the manual handoff work for analysts.
