Gain improved visibility, actionable insights, and automated application defense while streamlining compliance and demonstrating security ROI to stakeholders.
The problem: application security gaps and siloed data
Your security teams struggle with fragmented visibility into application-layer threats, inconsistent vulnerability management and poor adherence to secure coding practices. Key statistics highlight the growing risk:
- 99% of organizations report applications in production have four or more vulnerabilities
- 50% increase year-over-year in the number of zero-day vulnerabilities
- It takes up to 283 days to identify and contain a data breach
Repeated security issues like data leaks, unauthorized access, and unpatched vulnerabilities expose flaws in security strategies. Delayed patching increases risks, while teams ignoring secure coding practices or resisting security policies make the problem worse.
Why it matters
Security gaps in applications and APIs leave organizations exposed to risks and drive up operational costs. When security and development teams work in isolation, communication breaks down and critical vulnerabilities remain unaddressed. Unpatched vulnerabilities, inadequate testing and disconnected security controls create openings for attackers.
Without a unified approach, security teams can struggle with meeting compliance mandates, proactive threat management and maintaining strong security. To fix these issues, organizations need real-time application visibility, automated threat detection and built-in security that works seamlessly within
runtime environments.
The Contrast solution
Contrast Security provides a proactive, embedded security approach that eliminates blind spots and improves protection across applications and APIs. Key capabilities include:
- Deep, real-time visibility: Continuously monitor application and API behavior, pinpoint vulnerabilities with precision and stop attacks before they cause damage.
- Embedded runtime security: Contrast integrates directly into the application runtime, delivering accurate, context-aware vulnerability monitoring and actionable insights without impacting performance.
- Intelligent exploit prevention: Detect and block attacks from within the application itself, preventing exploits before they escalate into a damaging security incident.
- Integration into your existing SecOps and DevOps workflows: Contrast works seamlessly with the tools your SecOps and DevOps teams use today, from CI/CD to SIEM, to deliver deep application visibility and control without disrupting existing processes.
By seamlessly integrating world-class application security with existing workflows, Contrast Security enhances security response times, reduces false positives and enables teams to proactively mitigate threats.
Transforming application and API security
Contrast Security delivers measurable improvements by providing real-time visibility, proactive threat detection and automated security enforcement. By embedding security directly into applications and APIs, organizations can significantly reduce response times, improve overall security resilience and ensure compliance with industry regulations. This approach enhances operational efficiency while minimizing risk exposure.
- Reduce MTTD and MTTR
Real-time threat detection and automated response significantly decrease Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), minimizing potential damage.
- Ensure compliance
Meet regulatory and industry standards (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIST, and SOC 2) with continuous security monitoring, audit trails and automated compliance reporting.
- Demonstrate security ROI
Reduce security incident costs, minimize operational disruptions and enhance efficiency, allowing CISOs to showcase the value of security investments.
- Enhance security posture
By embedding security into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Contrast continuously identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities, improving overall resilience against threats.
- Increase security knowledge
Real-time security insights embedded within development workflows foster a security-first culture by educating developers and IT teams on vulnerabilities and secure coding practices.
