Problem
Traditional application security testing methods often rely on static scans and external firewalls, which can leave blind spots and fail to detect vulnerabilities in real-time. This can lead to delayed identification of security defects, increased risk of zero-day exploits, and slow remediation times, hindering developer productivity and overall application resilience.
Solution
Contrast Security provides a Runtime Security Platform that embeds real-time code analysis and attack prevention directly into applications and APIs. By instrumenting code from within, the platform observes execution to identify unsafe behaviors at runtime, uncovering known and unknown risks at every stage of the SDLC without the burden of scanning. This approach enables developers to find code security defects without false positives, allowing AppSec teams to catch critical vulnerabilities and eliminate many zero-day threats. SecOps teams can then stop more attacks by eliminating the app and API blind spot in their detection and response stack.
Target Audience
The primary users are DevSecOps teams, security professionals, and developers seeking to integrate security seamlessly into the SDLC, reduce vulnerability backlogs, and protect applications and APIs from exploits and zero-day attacks.
