Our instrumented, sensor-based platform is designed from the ground-up to work seamlessly and continuously with existing modern software development processes and toolchains for always-on, always-accurate software security.  This is ideal for customers that want to move over to more Agile DevOps (and DevSecOps) environments eliminating the need for multiple tools, training and experts.

Taking a “Shift Left & Extend Right”philosophy, Contrast Security recognizes the need to accelerate and protect the DevOps process: test early and often in development, while continuing to monitor and block vulnerabilities in the production environment.

• Contrast provides highly accurate & confirmed vulnerabilities without pen-testing
  • Head of Application Security in the Healthcare Industry 

Contrast provides amazing results - confirmed security vulnerabilities with near zero false positives. This is a massive upgrade on their competitors we've used in the past, who tend to provide us a cornucopia of "possible" findings, most of which are false positives and/or overly categorized as critical. We spend more time triaging the issues that we do fixing them.
