Atlassian's project and issue tracking tool widely used by security teams to create, assign, and track remediation tickets. It integrates with SOAR and SIEM platforms to automate the creation and lifecycle management of security incidents.
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.

What can you do with Jira in Qevlar?
Qevlar can push the outcome of an automated investigation into Jira — opening or updating a ticket with the relevant context, severity and recommended next steps already populated, so the handoff to action is seamless.
Does Qevlar reduce manual ticket writing?
Yes. When an investigation concludes that human action is needed, Qevlar prepares the ticket with the evidence and findings attached, removing the copy-paste work that usually falls on analysts.
