Azure DevOps Boards Integration

The Azure DevOps Boards integration in Akto allows you to seamlessly create and manage work items for API security vulnerabilities directly in your Azure Boards. This integration streamlines the process of tracking and remediating API issues, ensuring your teams stay aligned and proactive.

How It Works

Once integrated, Akto automatically pushes API vulnerability findings as work items into your specified Azure Boards projects. This provides real-time visibility and traceability of security issues within your existing DevOps workflow.

Setting Up the Integration

Follow these steps to integrate Azure DevOps Boards with Akto:

1. Azure DevOps Board URL

   • Enter the base URL of your Azure DevOps board dashboard.

   • Example:

     • https://dev.azure.com

     • https://{organization}.visualstudio.com

2. Organization

   • Input the name of your Azure DevOps organization.

   • This is the unique identifier for your DevOps environment.

3. Personal Auth Token

   • Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) in Azure DevOps with the necessary permissions (typically, work item read/write).

   • Enter the token here to authorize Akto to create and manage work items.

4. Projects

   • List the project names where the work items should be created.

   • Use a comma-separated format for multiple projects (e.g., Project1,Project2).

5. Save

   • Click the Save button to complete the setup.
