Linear integration
Ticketing & Project Management
Linear is where fast-moving engineering teams plan and ship, so it is the natural place to track the work of closing an exposure. The FortWatch Linear integration (currently in development) will turn every confirmed finding from your continuous external scans into a properly labeled, prioritized Linear issue — so a public storage bucket or an expiring certificate becomes a ticket on the right team's board instead of a line in a dashboard nobody owns.

View finding & step-by-step fix →Linear + FortWatch
FortWatch connects to your Linear workspace through an OAuth app and talks to Linear's GraphQL API to create and update issues. When a scan surfaces a new issue, FortWatch creates a Linear issue in the team you choose, maps FortWatch severity to Linear priority (critical → Urgent, high → High, medium → Medium, low → Low), and applies labels so security work is easy to filter. The issue title names the affected asset and exposure; the description carries the AI triage summary, evidence, and step-by-step remediation, plus a deep link back to the full finding in FortWatch. You can route issues into a specific project or current cycle, and because FortWatch listens to Linear webhooks, when someone closes the issue FortWatch re-checks the asset on the next scan and reopens or auto-resolves accordingly — so ticket state and real-world exposure stay in sync.
FortWatch scans
Eleven scanners watch your external attack surface around the clock — ports, certs, DNS, cloud buckets, exposed files and more.
AI triages the finding
Each issue is scored by real-world impact and packaged with the affected asset and a one-line explanation of the risk.
Delivered to Linear
The finding lands in Linear, routed by severity — so the right people see the right alert, fast.
What you'll be able to do
Everything the Linear integration will bring to your security workflow.
Auto-file findings
each new critical or high — an exposed Redis port, a public S3 bucket, an exposed .env — becomes a Linear issue on the owning team's board.
Severity-to-priority mapping
FortWatch severity maps cleanly to Linear's Urgent/High/Medium/Low so triage order matches actual risk.
Project and cycle routing
drop security work straight into a dedicated security project or the current cycle so it gets planned, not deferred.
Labeled and filterable
every issue carries severity and scanner labels (ports, DNS, SSL, cloud) so engineers can slice the backlog any way they want.
Two-way status sync
close the Linear issue and FortWatch verifies the fix on the next scan, auto-resolving it or reopening if the exposure is still live.
Deduplication
a recurring finding updates the existing Linear issue instead of spawning duplicates, keeping the board clean.
What an alert looks like
Every finding arrives formatted for Linear — severity up front, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of why it matters, with a link straight to the step-by-step fix.

Set it up in minutes, once it lands
No agents, no infrastructure changes — just connect Linear and choose where alerts go.
When it launches, open Settings → Integrations in FortWatch and connect your Linear workspace via OAuth.
Pick the default Linear team that should receive security issues, and optionally a project or cycle to route them into.
Confirm the severity-to-priority mapping and choose which labels FortWatch applies (severity, scanner type).
Decide which severities create issues — for example, only critical and high — so the board stays focused.
Create a test issue to verify the formatting and labels, then enable two-way status sync and switch it on.
Why route FortWatch into Linear?
Security findings only get fixed when they become real work an owner can see and schedule. Filing FortWatch findings directly into Linear puts each exposure in the same backlog your engineers already plan from, with the right priority and a clear remediation path — and two-way sync means the ticket closing actually reflects the exposure being gone, not just someone marking it done.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Linear integration available now?
Not yet — it is in active development. Add your email on this page and we will notify you the moment it ships.
Will it flood my Linear board with tickets?
No. You choose which severities create issues (most teams start with critical and high only), recurring findings update the existing issue instead of creating duplicates, and you can route everything into a dedicated security project so it never crowds product work.
What happens when I close a FortWatch issue in Linear?
FortWatch listens for the status change via Linear webhooks and re-checks the asset on the next scan. If the exposure is gone the finding auto-resolves; if it is still live, FortWatch reopens the issue so it does not silently slip through.
Want the Linear integration when it ships?
We'll email you the moment it goes live — no spam, just the launch.
