Contrast Security Integrates with Sumo Logic to Deliver High-Fidelity Application Threat Intelligence to the SOC

Contrast Security, the leader in Application Detection and Response (ADR), announced its partnership with Sumo Logic and integration with Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM. This will give security operations teams the deep application-layer visibility they’ve never had before. With this integration, Sumo Logic customers can now ingest real-time, high-fidelity attack signals and vulnerability records directly from running applications and APIs, enabling them to stop attacks earlier.

“Security teams can’t afford to operate in the dark when it comes to application-layer threats,” said Michael Cucchi, SVP of Product at Sumo Logic. “By integrating our AI-driven Cloud SIEM with Contrast Security, we’re bringing definitive runtime intelligence into the SOC, eliminating noise, surfacing real threats, and helping customers respond faster and smarter.”

“Perimeter tools like WAFs can overwhelm SOCs with unusable low-context alerts that, on top of it, are often false positives. This integration changes that,” said Faya Peng, Head of Product and General Manager of ADR at Contrast Security. “By combining Contrast’s runtime intelligence with Sumo Logic’s AI-powered analytics, SOC teams can instantly understand what was exploited, how, and where to respond, across the full attack chain.”

Closing the Application-Layer Blind Spot

Sumo Logic is known for redefining security operations with AI-driven detection and a unified platform for Dev, Sec, and Ops teams. But until now, application-layer visibility has remained a critical intelligence gap in the SIEM. Contrast closes that gap by embedding lightweight sensors in production applications, enabling:

  • Real-time detection of active application and API attacks
  • Runtime verification of exploit attempts vs. benign probes
  • Context-rich Insights in Sumo Logic correlated across infrastructure, endpoints, and cloud

From Detection to Resolution with AI

Contrast SmartFix AI also delivers AI-powered code fixes directly to developers. When an attack is detected in Sumo Logic, SOC analysts can trace it to the vulnerable line of code, and Contrast’s AI agent automatically generates a fix in the form of a pull request, bridging the gap between investigation and resolution. Together, the integration empowers security teams to reduce the attack surface, accelerate incident triage and stop multi-stage attacks earlier in the kill chain.

A Unified Workflow for Dev, SecOps, and AppSec

The Contrast–Sumo Logic integration breaks down silos that slow down security and dev teams. SOC Analysts, developers, AppSec, and IR teams can now work from a shared, real-time view of application risk. This joint solution supports use cases including:

  • Prioritized incident response based on confirmed runtime threats
  • Full-stack threat hunting with application-layer context
  • Closed-loop remediation with AI-driven code fixes
