Most Jira integrations with security tools offer limited value
At Semgrep we’ve always communicated that when it comes to “shifting left”, getting issues in front of developers is the easy part. Lowering the effort and time required to actually analyze, prioritize, and finally remediate an issue is the bottleneck that prevents outnumbered AppSec teams from scaling their impact.
This is why our core competencies in signal-to-noise ratio and remediation guidance are major differentiators, making it possible for AppSec teams to run a code security program where developers actually fix the majority of issues they see.
With this launch, these benefits can be realized by developers sooner, within their native workflows - further streamlining core AppSec processes for the thousands of organizations and millions of developers that rely on Jira every day to track their work.
" The AI-generated remediation guidance within tickets saves our AppSec team time and enhances the feeling of partnership between AppSec and developers."
- Mike Shirley, Senior Application Security Engineer, Paxos
Step-by-step, AI powered remediation guidance in Jira tickets:
Semgrep Assistant’s tailored AI remediation guidance is now embedded directly within Jira tickets. When developers see a security issue, they’ll also get a step-by-step breakdown of how to remediate the vulnerability, alongside all of the information and context they’ll need to take action right away.
Semgrep Assistant leverages Semgrep's rule syntax (which resembles source code), AI's comprehension of code, and a sophisticated prompt tree that incorporates a variety of inputs to produce tailored remediation guidance that developers love.

Automate without overwhelming:
Our Jira integration allows AppSec teams to automatically create tickets for new high severity and high confidence findings, and customize the field mapping to suit their needs. Paired with our platform’s precision, this is a powerful new workflow for AppSec teams that desperately need to scale, but can’t risk flooding their ticketing software with a sea of false positives that they’ll need to constantly comb through.
Ticket formats and field-mapping can be independently customized for SAST, SCA, and secrets findings - you know your developers best.
Field mapping and automated ticket creation for high severity + high confidence findings
"Semgrep's Jira integration lets us easily convert findings into detailed, actionable tickets with all the relevant context developers need to fix the vulnerability. We especially love that we can customize the integration to our workflows with field mapping between Semgrep and Jira.”- Brandon Powers, Senior Security Engineer, GoFundMe
Conclusion:
We’re excited about this update as it was based on a ton of valuable feedback from our customers, observing their pain points when integrating security tooling into their developers' workflows. We’d love for you to try it out and let us know what you think!
