Overview Guard Dog Relay for Jira

Guard Dog Relay for Jira will help you connect your platforms, keep track of what’s happening in your webhook events and build readiness within Atlassian cloud.

However, many of the methods used to monitor the health of their integrations are no longer available to them. As a result, organizations face challenges in maintaining an oversight of their webhook activities within the Atlassian ecosystem, leaving them vulnerable to evolving security threats.
