  • Microsoft is a technology partner of Contrast
  • Contrast is a Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) member

Integration Benefits

  • Deliver real-time application threats directly to the SOC: The Contrast ADR integration streams live, runtime application-layer telemetry directly into Microsoft Sentinel. This provides SOC teams with high-fidelity, verified signals of active exploits, cutting through perimeter noise and allowing analysts to focus on stopping breaches, not chasing false positives.

  • Integrate vulnerability assessment inside Azure tools: Developers can identify and remediate issues much faster because Contrast Security’s vulnerability assessment can display results inside Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac integrated development environments (IDEs). 

  • Secure the setup of a continuous CI/CD pipeline to Azure: Developers can add vulnerability thresholds that identify exactly where the vulnerability occurred in the task because Contrast delivers security testing and vulnerability thresholds directly in the build phase. As a result, application security testing works in tandem with all other testing workflows (unit, functional, regression). 

  • Send notifications and alerts via Microsoft Teams: All of Contrast Security’s real-time vulnerability and attack data is fed through Microsoft Teams. If a vulnerability is discovered, a notification is sent and a support ticket is created and assigned to the developer.

  • Unlock security intelligence from the application layer: Contrast integrates with the Microsoft Graph Security API to unlock relevant security intelligence from inside the application layer to manage overall cyber risk. The Microsoft Graph Security API allows developers to build and integrate solutions that correlate security alerts, provide context and automate vulnerability identification and remediation verification.
"Security teams integrated with AI need accurate, high-fidelity signals to stay ahead of evolving threats. By integrating Contrast Security’s runtime intelligence with Microsoft Sentinel, we’re helping customers gain deeper visibility into their application environments and accelerate threat detection and response." Jesse Kopavi, Principal Product Manager, Microsoft Security
