Strike offers native integrations with Jira, Slack, and Microsoft Teams to streamline vulnerability tracking, boost collaboration, and improve your team’s response time. These integrations are designed to adapt to your existing workflows, helping you stay secure without disrupting your day-to-day operations.

Jira Integration

Turn vulnerabilities into Jira tickets automatically

Overview

Strike's integration with Jira allows vulnerabilities to be reported as Jira tickets. This helps security and engineering teams manage findings in the tools they already use — without extra logins, copy-pasting, or information getting lost between platforms. It can be configured in two ways: default (self-service) or advanced (custom setup with Strike’s technical team).

Why it matters

By connecting Strike to Jira, teams can embed security into their existing development workflows, reducing friction between security and engineering. Vulnerabilities are not just tracked — they're turned into clear, actionable tickets that can be prioritized and resolved faster.

Default Setup (One-Way Integration)

This setup can be completed directly within the Strike platform, without technical assistance.

What it includes:

  • Installation of the Jira app from within Strike

  • Generation and insertion of an API token

  • Selection of the Issue Type for vulnerabilities

How it works:

  • One-way sync from Strike to Jira

  • Vulnerabilities are pushed to Jira as tickets with title, description, PoC, and HTTP request

  • Any updates to those fields in Strike are reflected in Jira

  • File attachments added in Strike are also added to the Jira ticket (but deleted files are not removed)

  • Status and priority fields are not synced — Jira keeps its own default settings

Advanced Setup (Two-Way Integration)

This configuration is done in collaboration with Strike’s technical team and is recommended for teams with specific workflows or custom Jira configurations.

Key features

  1. State Mapping (Two-Way Sync):

    • Synchronizes the status of vulnerabilities between Strike and Jira in both directions

    • A mapping table is created based on your Jira workflows

    • Only the "status" field supports two-way sync

  2. Field Mapping (Custom & Core Fields):

    • Vulnerability attributes can be mapped to Jira fields

    • Works with both standard (e.g., priority) and custom fields (e.g., dropdowns, IDs)

    • Supports advanced formatting, static values, and conditional logic

  3. Field update behavior:

    • Updates from Strike to Jira happen automatically if the vulnerability is already linked to a Jira ticket.

    • You can’t disable updates entirely, but you can control which fields get updated.

    • For example, a field can be configured to sync only when the ticket is created, and not on later updates — even if it changes in Strike.

Operational value

Integrating Jira with Strike adds practical benefits that go beyond automation. Among the key advantages:

  • Reduces manual work and human error

  • Keeps security and dev teams aligned through shared, traceable tasks

  • Speeds up remediation by integrating security actions into the product lifecycle

  • Enables flexibility to reflect internal processes or compliance requirements


Azure DevOps integration

Send vulnerabilities from Strike to Azure DevOps as work items

Overview

Strike’s integration with Azure DevOps allows vulnerabilities to be reported as work items within your development environment — similar to the Jira integration, but with more limited capabilities.

Unlike Jira, this integration is one-way only: vulnerabilities are pushed from Strike to Azure DevOps, but no updates are synced back. This means status changes or edits made in Azure will not reflect in Strike.

How it works:

To set up the integration, the customer needs to share the following information with the Strike team:

  • Organization name

  • Project name

  • Work item type

  • Credentials: username and token

Once this information is provided, the integration can be configured by Strike to automatically send vulnerabilities as work items to the specified Azure DevOps project.

Operational value:

This integration helps security and engineering teams centralize findings in a single system, without the need to switch tools or manually copy data from Strike to Azure.


Slack & Microsoft Teams Integration

Real-time collaboration without switching platforms

Overview

Strike creates dedicated communication channels in Slack or Teams to facilitate direct interaction between your team and Strike’s pentesters. This integration is inherently bidirectional, as it's used by both sides to exchange information in real time.

Why it matters

With this integration, your team gets full visibility into the testing process — even without accessing the Strike platform. It's a direct line to the ethical hackers working on your project, which helps accelerate resolution, reduce misunderstandings, and build trust across teams.

How it works:

  • A permanent “General” channel is created for each customer to coordinate scope, plans, and schedules

  • A new channel is also created for each pentest, giving full visibility into findings and progress

  • The Strike Customer Success team manages all setup — no configuration is needed from your side

Operational value:

The Slack and Teams integration makes collaboration smoother and more inclusive, ensuring visibility and responsiveness across teams. Key benefits include:

  • Team members without a Strike account can still stay informed and participate

  • Critical updates and findings are delivered in real time via your preferred platform

  • Encourages fluid collaboration between developers, security teams, and Strike pentesters
    Supports faster decision-making and clearer ownership of tasks
