On Prem

Jira (On-Prem)

ZeroThreat On-Prem allows you to create Jira issues directly from scan findings, enabling security and development teams to collaborate within existing sprint workflows. By integrating Jira with your On-Prem deployment, validated vulnerabilities can be converted into structured tasks inside your Jira projects with complete technical context.

Unlike the Cloud version, ZeroThreat On-Prem connects to Jira using an API token and operates entirely from within your controlled infrastructure.

ZeroThreat On-Prem requires outbound network access to your Jira instance (e.g., https://your-domain.atlassian.net). Ensure your firewall allows API communication.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  • Your target is associated with an Enterprise plan that supports Issue Tracking.
  • You have permission in Jira to create issues in the intended project.
  • Your On-Prem deployment has network access to your Jira domain.

Step 1: Generate a Jira API Token

ZeroThreat On-Prem requires a Jira API token for authentication.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Jira account.
  2. Click on your profile avatar (top right) and select Manage account.
  3. Navigate to Security and under API tokens, click Create and manage API tokens.

  1. In addition to the API token, you will need:
  • Your Jira domain URL
    Example: https://your-company.atlassian.net/
  • The email address associated with your Jira account.
The steps above may vary slightly depending on your Jira account. In general, you simply need to obtain a Jira API Token, your Jira Domain URL, and the email address associated with your Jira account, using any method available in your Jira settings.

Step 2: Configure Jira in ZeroThreat On-Prem

  1. Navigate to the Targets () section.
  2. Select the target you want to configure and open the Target Configuration page.
  3. Go to the Issue Tracking () section.
  4. Locate Jira and click Configure.
  5. In the popup, enter the Jira Domain URL, your Jira Account Email, and the Jira API Token.

Your Jira integration is now connected to the target.

Step 3: Create Jira Issues from a Scan Report

Once Jira is configured:

  1. Go to the Scans () section.
  2. Open a completed scan report.
  3. Click the Jira Task button at the top of the report.

A Jira configuration popup will appear.

Step 4: Configure Jira Issue Settings

  1. In the Jira Task popup:
  • Select your Jira instance.
  • Choose the Project where vulnerabilities should be created.
  • Select the Board.
  • Choose the Sprint (optional).

  1. Click Submit to proceed.

All issues created from that scan report will be added to the selected project and sprint.

Step 5: Create Issues for Vulnerabilities

  1. In the scan report, identify the vulnerability you want to track.

  1. Click Create Issue.

ZeroThreat will generate individual Jira tickets for each finding under that vulnerability.

All tickets are immediately pushed to Jira and can be managed directly inside your Jira board.

Create Jira issues only for validated and high-priority vulnerabilities to avoid cluttering your backlog.

Viewing and Managing Issues

After creating issues:

  • Go to Created Issues inside the scan report to see all Jira tickets generated.
  • Click any issue to open it directly in Jira.

Each Jira ticket includes:

  • Detailed vulnerability description
  • HTTP request and response evidence
  • Proof-of-concept details
  • Direct link back to the full ZeroThreat scan report

In ZeroThreat On-Prem, bi-directional comment synchronization and automatic issue status synchronization are not available. Changes made in Jira, such as updating status or adding comments, will not automatically reflect back in ZeroThreat.

Best Practices

  • Use a dedicated Jira API token for ZeroThreat integration.
  • Rotate API tokens periodically as part of security hygiene.
  • Align issue creation with sprint planning cycles.
  • Ensure your firewall consistently allows communication to your Jira domain.

You’re all set with Jira integration on ZeroThreat On-Prem.
