DefectDojo Brings Force-Multiplier Vulnerability Management to ServiceNow, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, and GitLab

Austin Texas – DefectDojo, the leader in unified vulnerability management and DevSecOps, today announced a suite of new integrations that embed its powerful security insights directly into the native workflows of today’s leading development and IT operations platforms: ServiceNow, Microsoft Azure (Azure Boards), GitHub, and GitLab. By pushing distilled, correlated, and prioritized vulnerability data into the tools developers and IT teams already use, DefectDojo acts as a powerful force-multiplier, enabling strained security teams to scale their impact and accelerate remediation cycles without adding resources.

In today's complex technology environments, security teams are inundated with a constant flood of alerts from a sprawling ecosystem of security tools. This creates a significant burden, forcing highly skilled professionals to spend valuable time on manual, repetitive tasks like correlating findings, chasing false positives, and compiling reports. This operational friction not only slows down remediation but also creates silos between security, development, and operations teams.

DefectDojo breaks this cycle by serving as a central command center and "single source of truth" for all security data. The platform ingests, normalizes, and deduplicates findings from over 200 security tools, including SAST, DAST, SCA, Infrastructure, and SOC security tools, applying intelligent algorithms and customizable risk-scoring to cut through the noise. With these new integrations, DefectDojo now sends these enriched and actionable results directly into additional platforms where work happens:

  • ServiceNow: Automatically create and update tickets, ensuring that vulnerability response and remediation aligns with established enterprise governance and operational workflows.
  • Microsoft Azure Boards: Populate development backlogs with clearly defined vulnerability tasks, allowing teams to plan and track remediation work as part of their regular sprints.
  • GitHub & GitLab: Generate detailed security issues directly within the repositories where code lives, providing developers with the context they need to fix vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently within their familiar environment.
  • JIRA: Supported with bi-directional status and information syncs.

This seamless flow of information bridges the gap between security and development, embedding critical security tasks into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). By automating the mundane and delivering high-fidelity findings to the right teams at the right time, DefectDojo liberates security professionals from manual tool wrangling and allows them to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives. This enhancement of team productivity and efficiency is the definition of a force-multiplier, empowering organizations to manage risk more effectively and scale their security programs to meet modern demands.

"Security teams are facing a perfect storm of a persistent talent shortage and an ever-expanding attack surface. They cannot simply hire their way out of this problem," said DefectDojo CEO, Greg Anderson. "The only path forward is to work smarter. These integrations are a massive step in that direction. By embedding prioritized, actionable intelligence into the core workflows of development and IT, we are not just connecting tools; we are connecting teams. We are empowering organizations to transform their vulnerability management from a reactive, manual chore into a streamlined, automated, and collaborative process that truly secures the business."
