DefectDojo, the pioneer in scalable unified vulnerability management and DevSecOps, today announced the launch of its universal parser for security data ingestion on the Dojo Pro platform. With the universal parser, DefectDojo can support all security tools producing JSON or XML data, the two most common data types in ASPM, streamlining data ingestion for more efficient vulnerability response. The universal parser also helps security teams future-proof their operations against formatting changes or the launch of new tools, solving security data ingestion once and for all.

According to IDC, 73% of IT teams use between 21-80 tools to thoroughly test and evaluate enterprise software for security. However, tool vendors frequently change the formats of these tools, breaking integrations and significantly slowing operations. Without the findings from these tools, teams could potentially miss major vulnerabilities and leave avenues of attack open for bad actors to exploit. DefectDojo’s universal parser removes this pain point by adapting to tool changes automatically, preventing integrations from breaking and helping security teams maintain a holistic view of all software and applications.

“Security professionals inevitably have to add tools to adequately protect an enterprise as time goes on. The more tools they use, the more likely it is that something will break and put the business at risk. DefectDojo has always strived to integrate with as many tools as possible, and the universal parser is the next step in that evolution,” said Greg Anderson, CEO of DefectDojo. “With this development, Dojo Pro users will no longer have to worry about data importation and can focus on higher-level issues rather than constantly trying to fix the latest broken integration.”

With over 38 million downloads, DefectDojo’s community of clients and users encompasses everything from Fortune 10 companies to solo consultants. The only open-source solution in the unified vulnerability management space, the platform offers a comprehensive approach to both managing and improving security postures by aggregating data from various security tools, automating workflows, and delivering actionable insights to ensure vulnerabilities are effectively identified, tracked, and mitigated across the entire organization.

DefectDojo provides security and DevSecOps teams with a unified command center capable of automating critical tasks and maximizing the value of security data. The platform leverages advanced machine learning algorithms that automatically consolidate duplicates, eliminate false positives, triage vulnerabilities, enrich data, identify larger trends and other tasks, all with the highest precision. These same algorithms evolve over time based on human input to better fit a specific team’s needs. This commitment to customization continues with the universal parser. Users can tailor the parser to integrate data using the exact methods they prefer, further smoothing workflows.

The universal parser is now available in the Dojo Pro Platform. To inquire about Dojo Pro and access to this feature, contact hello@defectdojo.com.
