Overview
Exaforce brings agentic, real-time security to your Atlassian organization and Bitbucket workspaces. By connecting to Atlassian Guard audit events, Bitbucket repository metadata, Pipelines activity, and identity signals, Exaforce delivers high-fidelity detections, enriched investigations, and guided responses across your software supply chain.
Where legacy SIEMs struggle to stitch together developer activity, tokens, and repository posture, Exaforce normalizes and correlates this data in one place, accelerating time to detect while materially reducing false positives.
How it works
Exaforce continuously ingests and analyzes signals from your Atlassian environment and Bitbucket workspaces:
- Atlassian Guard audit events at the organization level
- Bitbucket workspace, repository, branch, and pull request activity
- Pipelines runs, artifacts, and deployment metadata
- Access tokens, user accounts, and identity graph correlations
These signals are mapped into a unified graph of identities, workspaces, repositories, pipelines, and dependencies. Exaforce establishes behavioral baselines and flags deviations that indicate risk, such as suspicious token use, unusual clone patterns, or risky configuration changes.
Core capabilities
Monitor token and authentication use
Exaforce monitors Bitbucket token and authentication activity to surface patterns that indicate risk, such as workspace access tokens or user tokens being used from unusual geographies or autonomous systems, long-lived or unused tokens that still carry administrative scopes, and tokens that exhibit scope drift or unexpected automation behavior. Each event is tied back to the owning identity, workspace, and recent changes so that security teams can quickly determine whether activity is legitimate or malicious and take targeted action.
Detect potential code theft and exfiltration
Exaforce continuously analyzes repository access and Git activity to detect behaviors consistent with code theft or exfiltration, including mass cloning or archiving of repositories, abnormal fetch and download activity across multiple projects, and suspicious access from new devices or automation clients shortly after permissions are granted or elevated. These signals are correlated with the sensitivity and criticality of repositories, recent access changes, and the user’s historical behavior profile, enabling Exaforce to distinguish bulk-but-legitimate developer workflows from genuine exfiltration threats.
Network, ASN, and geolocation anomaly detection
Exaforce evaluates the network context of Bitbucket access by examining ASN, IP reputation, and geolocation information. It flags logins and API calls originating from blocklisted countries or known anonymizing services, as well as access from high-risk or previously unseen autonomous systems. Sudden changes in a user’s typical location or network patterns are analyzed in combination with identity and device attributes, allowing Exaforce to separate normal travel and remote work patterns from indicators of account takeover or compromised credentials.
Identity correlation
Exaforce correlates Atlassian and Bitbucket identities with corporate directory users, endpoints, and cloud roles to create a unified security graph. This correlation enables security teams to see, in one place, how a single user is authenticating, which repositories and workspaces they are touching, which tokens and devices they are using, and how their behavior compares to their peers. When an incident occurs, analysts can quickly pivot from a Bitbucket detection to a complete, identity-centric timeline that accelerates root cause analysis and response.
Repository and Pipelines visibility
Exaforce provides comprehensive visibility into Bitbucket repositories and Pipelines configurations to surface risks that are otherwise difficult to track. It inspects Pipelines definitions and execution patterns to identify insecure behavior such as unpinned images, overly permissive service accounts, and unsafe handling of secrets. At the repository level, Exaforce highlights hygiene issues such as direct pushes to protected branches, weak pull request review practices, and reliance on unvetted dependencies. This is enriched with workspace-level context on criticality, ownership, and dependency relationships so that teams can prioritize attention on the most important assets.
Posture and governance misconfigurations
Exaforce continuously evaluates Atlassian and Bitbucket posture to find misconfigurations and governance gaps that increase the likelihood or impact of compromise. It identifies weak or missing branch protection rules and merge checks, public or broadly shared repositories that lack appropriate access controls, and inactive users or stale tokens that still retain elevated privileges. It also detects workspaces and projects without clear ownership or CODEOWNERS-style governance signals. Each issue is prioritized based on business criticality and exposure, so teams can address the most impactful problems first.
AI triage to cut false positives
Exaforce uses agentic AI to automatically triage Bitbucket and Atlassian alerts, consolidating related events into coherent incident stories enriched with identity, repository, and supply-chain context. Rather than generating a noisy stream of isolated findings, Exaforce ranks alerts by urgency and evidentiary strength, guiding analysts directly to the highest-risk situations. This significantly reduces false positives and allows small security teams to maintain strong coverage across large developer populations.
Deep, guided investigations
When analysts need to investigate, Exaforce provides a guided experience that allows intuitive exploration across users, workspaces, repositories, and pipelines. From any detection, analysts can pivot into detailed timelines that combine logins, token usage, pull requests, approvals, configuration changes, and Pipelines runs. Natural-language queries and graph-style pivots make it easy to follow leads, understand blast radius, and validate hypotheses without writing complex search queries.
Benefits
By integrating Atlassian Bitbucket with Exaforce, security and platform teams gain complete, real-time visibility into developer activity, repository posture, and CI/CD risk without slowing down delivery. The integration centralizes Atlassian Guard audit logs, Bitbucket workspace and repository metadata, Pipelines events, and identity context into a single, correlated view, making it faster to detect and investigate credential abuse, code exfiltration, and misconfigurations. High-fidelity, AI-driven triage cuts down false positives so small teams can confidently cover large Bitbucket footprints, while automated and guided response workflows turn every validated alert into consistent, measurable risk reduction.
