BreachLock Introduces New Integration Features with Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and GitHub

To navigate your way through the fast-paced and changing world of cybersecurity, automation and seamless integration have become indispensable. The BreachLock Unified Platform has introduced several new integration features, in addition to it current armamentarium, to include Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and GitHub.

Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and GitHub

BreachLock has introduced three new integration features to streamline the process of transferring vulnerabilities discovered during scans directly to your DevOps integrations. These integration capabilities are particularly beneficial for users, ensuring that security and engineering teams can address identified issues seamlessly.

Integrations such as Azure DevOps and ServiceNow are crucial for security testing because they streamline workflows and enhance efficiency. By integrating these tools, security testing platforms can automate the transfer of vulnerability data, eliminating the need for manual entry. This not only reduces the risk of human error but also speeds up the entire process, allowing security teams to focus on analysis and remediation rather than administrative tasks.

GitHub

GitHub was recently introduced and is important to DevOps teams as it allows the integration of security tools to automatically scan code repositories for vulnerabilities, such as hardcoded credentials, unpatched dependencies, or insecure coding patterns.

GitHub is also important in the CI/CD pipeline integrating with testing tools like SAST and DAST to ensure that every code push is tested for security flaws, providing real-time feedback to developers. By integrating shit left security earlier in the development process with GitHub workflows, allows security teams to catch vulnerabilities before the reach production.

GitHub makes is easy to track, assign, and manage vulnerabilities through issues and pull requests, allowing security teams to collaborate closely with developers by provide audit logs and code history.

Lastly, GitHub integrated with the BreachLock Platform and our ASM and penetration testing, allows security teams to automate security testing directly from their repositories. For example, security teams at BreachLock will push the vulnerabilities to the user’s development team directly so that they can fix the issues at the foundational level during development only.

Key Features

• Automated Transfer of Vulnerability Data: Security testing tools often generate vast amounts of data. Manual transfer of this data to tracking or management systems can be time-consuming and error-prone. Integrations with Azure DevOps and ServiceNow automate this process, ensuring that vulnerabilities are recorded accurately and promptly in the relevant system.
• Real-Time Capability: The integration allows for immediate transfer of vulnerabilities identified during BreachLock scans into Azure DevOps. This real-time capability ensures that security and engineering teams can quickly access and act on the latest vulnerabilities without manual intervention.
• Reduced Lead-Time for Issue Tracking: By automating the transfer of vulnerability information, the lead-time for issue tracking is significantly reduced. This automation eliminates the need for manual entry, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that critical vulnerabilities are addressed promptly.
• Prompt Action on Security Issues: Immediate updates allow for swift action, which is crucial for maintaining security and mitigating risks. By integrating with Azure DevOps, teams can prioritize and address vulnerabilities as soon as they are discovered, minimizing the window of opportunity for potential attackers.
• Centralized Vulnerability Management: The integration facilitates better coordination between security and engineering teams by centralizing vulnerability and affected assets within the Azure DevOps project. This centralization ensures that all stakeholders have visibility into the security posture and can collaborate effectively to address vulnerabilities.
• Faster Remediation: By enabling faster remediation of vulnerabilities, the integration helps protect assets from potential breaches and attacks. The streamlined workflow ensures that vulnerabilities are not only identified but also addressed in a timely manner, reducing the risk of exploitation.

Conclusion

The integration of Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, and GitHub with the BreachLock Unified Platform represents a significant advancement in ensuring our customers have the latest innovation at their fingertips. Whether that is to identify and validate vulnerabilities and remediate risks faster with Azure DevOps and SNOW, or ensure every code push is tested for security flaws with GitHub.
