    Onboard a Jira App to SSPM

    Connect a Jira instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
    For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Jira instance, you must onboard your Jira instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Jira using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Jira instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
    SSPM can also scan your Jira instance for connected third-party plugins. However, to enable SSPM to scan your Jira instance for connected third-party plugins, you must also onboard an Atlassian app.
    SSPM gets access to your Jira instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
    To onboard your Jira instance, you complete the following actions:

    Collect Information for Accessing Your Jira Instance

    To access your Jira instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    Item

    MFA Secret Key

    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Jira instance from SSPM.
