Onboard a Kanban Tool App to SSPM

Connect a Kanban Tool instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Kanban Tool instance, you must onboard your Kanban Tool instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Kanban Tool using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Kanban Tool instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your Kanban Tool 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 Kanban Tool instance, you complete the following actions:
