AppSec Assistant

AppSec Assistant is a handy Jira plugin that helps developers enhance software security effortlessly by offering smart recommendations.

This innovative tool uses AI to provide tailored security suggestions directly within Jira Cloud. By doing so, it assists developers in building software that inherently prioritizes security. One of the key focuses is on keeping user data safe—ensuring that sensitive information, including OpenAI API keys, stays within trusted environments. This way, everyone can have peace of mind while developing applications.

Getting started with AppSec Assistant is a breeze. All you need to do is add your OpenAI API key and, if you want, some basic details about your organization. This straightforward setup helps strengthen the security of your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) right from the beginning.

The tool smartly integrates with Atlassian's Storage API, which means your OpenAI API key information is encrypted and securely stored. This setup not only protects your data but also boosts efficiency. With AppSec Assistant, you can cut down on the time spent on manual application security reviews, as it generates specific security recommendations for each ticket at the click of a button.

Moreover, AppSec Assistant lets developers maintain their fast-paced workflows while seamlessly incorporating security measures from the get-go. Plus, for those who need a more customized experience, the tool supports individual deployments within Jira Cloud, allowing you to utilize your own Language Model (LLM) or General AI (GEN-AI) infrastructure if you wish.
