Contrast Security Achieves AWS DevSecOps Competency Status
Leading AppSec provider receives recognition for assisting customers with continuous integration and delivery practices on AWS
May 12, 2022 — Los Altos, Calif. — Contrast Security (Contrast), the leader in code security that empowers developers to secure-as-they code, announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) DevOps Competency for development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) garnered by demonstrating technical proficiency and proven customer success specializing in DevSecOps. Contrast was selected as one of the official launch partners of the DevSecOps Competency by AWS, which is an extension of the DevOps category.
Achieving the AWS DevOps Competency for DevSecOps differentiates Contrast Security as an AWS Partner with deep domain expertise in delivering software products that integrate security across every stage of the development and delivery cycles, including pre-, during, and post-deployment. Contrast Security is part of a small group of innovative security technologies to achieve the AWS DevSecOps Competency in its inaugural year.
“We’re honored to achieve AWS DevSecOps Competency status on top of the DevOps Competency status that we received last year. It is a true testament to our efforts in helping large enterprises ensure security and compliance across the entire lifecycle of their web applications and APIs running on AWS,” said Surag Patel, Chief Strategy Officer at Contrast Security. “We’re looking forward to expanding our AWS capabilities so that organizations garner continuous visibility and centralized point-of-control for software risk through a single platform.”
By using instrumentation technology, Contrast Security is embedding self-assessment and self-protection capabilities directly into AWS applications during run-time. This enables DevSecOps teams to detect accurate code-level vulnerabilities (both custom code and open source libraries) in development and quality assurance (QA) environments, and monitor and block production applications from threats and attacks in real-time.
