Projects
Create custom security projects, your way
A Sola project is a custom security tool that you create, tailored for your specific security needs and area of interest. Each project you create is autonomous and supports its own use case. It can be limited to one or more data sources with different workspace members as creators and consumers.
The project you create can range from basic and simple use cases, to specific or complex scenarios. Projects can be shared with your team members, depending on their member roles. Public projects are open to all workspace members with the selected default role. Private projects require an invite.
Projects are connected to relevant data sources that allow you to query your data and gain security insights into your organization.
Each project is made up of 5 building blocks:
Sola AI Copilot - Ask questions and get insights about your security.
Queries - Expose the underlying data from your sources.
Canvases - Vibe-code your data into fully interactive interfaces.
Alerts - Turn key questions into rules that monitor your data.
Workflows - Structure and automate actions with AI-native flows.
Pro tip: Create security projects your way
Sola gives you the flexibility to structure your projects based on your security priorities.
For example, you can create projects by security use case (e.g., Identity and Access Management), by data source (e.g., AWS Security Posture, GitHub Security Posture), or a combination of both (e.g., AWS Identity and Access Management, Salesforce Identity and Access Management).
How you create your projects is entirely up to you. Choose what makes the most sense for your security needs.
Creating projects
Your projects can be as simple or as complex as you need. Depending on how technical you want to get, the queries component of your project provides the flexibility to query your data using natural language with Sola AI and SQL queries.
Sola AI helps you quickly generate queries and refine them, making it easier to explore your data and uncover insights.
Create a new project from scratch, join an existing one in your workspace, or use a prebuilt template made by our expert security team.
Who can create and install projects?
Only workspace owners and admins can create projects, join existing projects, or install templates.
Connecting data sources
To create a new project, you’ll need to connect it to one or more data sources.
Connecting your data source is important because it allows you to get answers to your questions that are relevant to your data. By linking your data sources, you can easily find security insights and answers based on your organizational data.
You can skip this step for now and use a placeholder data source, which includes only the table schema (without data). Connect your data source later when you're ready.
Viewing and collaborating on projects
Sola provides two ways to access projects in your workspace:
My Projects - Projects that you are a member in, whether created by you or someone else
Workspace Projects - Projects in your workspace that you can join.
Collaborate in real time to share insights, refine security findings, and build on each other's work. See who else is active in the same project or building block as you create.
