How to Connect Claude to Jira Securely Without Giving AI Unrestricted Access

Aug 5, 2026 By Pallavi Narang In miniOrange
Teams are connecting Claude to Jira to summarize issues, draft tickets, and answer sprint questions in seconds. The productivity gains are real, but so is the security risk. The problem is simple: a direct connection gives Claude the same permissions as the person who set it up. If that user can view confidential projects or delete issues, so can Claude. There's no business logic in between deciding what AI should and shouldn't touch. Most organizations don't want to ban AI.

Aug 4, 2026 By Stutee Raja In miniOrange
Your ERP system doesn't know what a SAML assertion is. Neither does that 15-year-old internal tool running your warehouse floor.

Best Practices for Managing the Identity Lifecycle

Aug 3, 2026 By Minal Purwar In miniOrange
Every employee, contractor, and partner who touches your systems creates a paper trail of accounts, permissions, and access rights that has to be managed from the day they join to long after they leave.

Jul 29, 2026 By Robert Kraczek In One Identity
Identities in the modern enterprise are increasingly less human and more autonomous, powered by the rise in AI agents, APIs and other non-human identities (NHIs).

IAM Audit and Compliance Reporting: What to Track and Why

Jul 29, 2026 By Chaitali Avadhani In miniOrange
