Jira + JupiterOne Integration Benefits

• Visualize Jira projects, users, and issues in the JupiterOne graph.
• Map Jira users to employees in your JupiterOne account.
• Monitor Jira issues configured as vulnerabilities or findings within the alerts app.
• Monitor changes to Jira users, projects, and issues using JupiterOne alerts.
• Create Jira issues from JupiterOne alerts and monitor progress against those issues in JupiterOne.
• Create Jira issues from JupiterOne compliance controls that need attention.

How it Works

• JupiterOne periodically fetches Jira projects, users, and issues* to update the graph.
• Write JupiterOne queries to review and monitor updates to the graph.
• Configure alerts to take action when the JupiterOne graph changes.
• Jira issue entities will have additional _class values when custom types are used in Jira:
  • Change (also added when the issue key starts with PRODCM)
  • Finding
  • Incident
  • Risk
  • Vulnerability

(*) The integration performs a rolling ingestion of up to 2000 of the most recently created or updated issues. Already ingested issues that are not modified will remain in the graph when the integration runs again. Issues are only deleted along with other entities associated with the integration instance when the integration instance is deleted.

Requirements

• JupiterOne requires the hostname for your Jira organization. JupiterOne also requires the username/email and an API key for a user having the correct permissions granted.
• The integration supports Jira Cloud with Jira API v3 and Jira Data Center with Jira API v2. Other setups may work.
• You must have permission in JupiterOne to install new integrations.

Integration Walkthrough

Customers authorize access to JupiterOne by creating a Jira user and providing the username and password (or API token when passwords require MFA) to JupiterOne for HTTP Basic Auth as described in the Jira Security for Other Integrations documentation.

In Jira

Configure an User for API Access

Option 1 - Create a New User

1. Create a new service account for JupiterOne use or use an existing account.
2. Login to Jira and navigate to User Management.
3. Send an invite to the service account.

Option 2 - Leverage an Existing User

Before you use an existing user, you should verify a couple of things.

• Make sure the appropriate permissions are configured/can be added to the account (see the Permissions section below).
• Make sure you have the ability to login to the user's Jira account.

Permissions

• Authorize the user to read groups and users by granting the "Browse Users" global permission. This allows JupiterOne to provide visibility into Jira access.
• Authorize browse access to projects configured in JupiterOne. Use group, project, role, and issue security features of Jira to manage the user's access. Note that restricting to read-only access will require explicit removal of write permissions. Please see the Jira article on How to Create a Read Only User.
• Authorize "Create Issues" permissions in projects that serve as JupiterOne Alert Rule action targets.

Create an API Token

1. Log in to Jira as the JupiterOne user and follow the Jira guide to create an API token.

In JupiterOne

1. From the configuration Gear Icon, select Integrations.
2. Scroll to the Jira integration tile and click it.
3. Click the Add Configuration button and configure the following settings:

• Enter a Description that will further assist your team when identifying the integration instance.
• Select a Polling Interval that you feel is sufficient for your monitoring needs. You may leave this as DISABLED and manually execute the integration.
• Enter the Hostname of your organization.
• Enter the User Email used to authenticate with Jira.
• Enter the User Password associated with the user email, or the API Key if the password requires MFA.
• Enter the Project Keys that the integration will retrieve data from.
