CloudBees platform integrates third-party security tools, such as SAST or DAST scanners, for use in implicit security assessments. These tools are activated and reviewed from the Marketplace.
The Marketplace can be accessed at organization level, or at component level. Enable or disable tools at organization level, and review the status of each tool at component level.
To access the Marketplace:
-
Select an organization or component from the dropdown in the left navigation.
-
Select the Security dropdown from the left navigation, then select Marketplace.
-
Select to filter tools by Category, Tags, or Tooling, or clear all filters.
-
Search for a security tool.
-
Select to toggle implicit security assessment. Disabling implicit security assessment turns off automatic security analysis for all the components associated with the selected organization and its sub-organizations.
-
Select to enable or disable security tools. This can only be done at organization level.
| Only users with the Admin user role in the organization can enable or disable security tools. |
Organization hierarchy, and override records
Enabling or disabling a security tool, or implicit security assessment, is done at the organization level. Changes made to the root organization affect all of its child organizations. Below root-organization level, changes made to an organization create an override record, such that changes to its parent won’t affect that organization.
For example, in the image below, enabling a security tool for the Root organization would enable it for all three child organizations. If you then disabled it for Child organization 1, it would also disable it for Child organization 3.
Activating a different security tool for Child organization 1 would activate it for Child organization 3, unless that tool had already been deactivated for Child organization 3, which would have created an override record.
| Disabling a security tool for the root organization disables it for all child organizations, irrespective of override records. |
