The software world is moving quickly towards continuous integration, continuous delivery, and even continuous deployment... and in most organizations, application security efforts are struggling to keep up.
The Contrast Engine analyzes your application in real time and identifies vulnerabilities continuously during development. Developers are notified of vulnerabilities and other critical security intelligence immediately when they are introduced. I know what you're thinking, "Seeing is believing" and "Prove it." Ok. Here you go.
Take a few minutes and watch this Hacker Hotshot video about what Contrast™ does and how it does, courtesy of our friend Max Dalziel over at Concise-Courses. If you have specific questions, we've included some time codes you can jump to for specific topics.
Contrast functions well even in traditional application portfolio blind spots where DAST & SAST tools simply weren’t designed to work. Especially with Agile and DevOps projects where you need up-to-the minute, continuous results. Our goal is to turn application security into a mainstream software development practice (3:07) not a specialist-only exercise.
