Configuring notifications to report vulnerabilities to an issue tracking system

You can configure Acunetix 360 to send all issues identified during a scan to an issue tracking system, such as Jira.

  • In today's agile environment, building vulnerability management into your development pipeline is a must when doing security testing. So, any vulnerability that needs fixing must be turned into a ticket in the developers' existing system.
  • If this is done manually, managing vulnerability tickets adds a lot of extra work for everyone. If created automatically, it streamlines the vulnerability resolution.

Thanks to the integration between Acunetix 360 and issue tracking systems, such as Jira, you can create tickets automatically.

Prerequisite

  • Integrate Acunetix 360 with an issue tracking system. For further information, see Integrations.
