About AppSec Assistant

AppSec Assistant is a Jira Cloud plugin that delivers AI-powered, secure-by-design security recommendations directly inside your software development workflow. Using your own OpenAI API key, it analyzes each issue's summary and description to provide tailored security guidance while keeping data in trusted environments and avoiding any third-party sharing beyond OpenAI. The tool supports both OpenAI models (via API key) and optionally Meta's Llama 3 (AppSec Assistant Pro) or custom LLM deployments. Note: AppSec Assistant and AppSec Assistant Pro are currently being retired with a 90-day notice.
