Identify, prioritize and mitigate application and API threats as they occur, and ditch the noise.
The problem: false alerts vs. stealthy threats
SecOps teams face mounting challenges in detecting and blocking application exploits. The complexity of modern applications, combined with an evolving threat landscape, overwhelms teams with excessive alerts and no context. Consider these key statistics:
- 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
SecOps teams need real-time detection and response capabilities that cut through the noise and allow them to focus on genuine threats to their applications without guesswork or manual triage bottlenecks.
Why it matters
With increasing attack complexity and no visibility in the application layer, SecOps teams struggle to distinguish real threats from false positives. Traditional application and API security solutions often generate excessive noise, leading to delayed response times and resource strain.
Without real-time visibility and intelligent prioritization, organizations face prolonged exposure to threats, increased incident response costs and a higher likelihood of breaches. An effective security solution must streamline attack detection, integrate seamlessly into existing workflows and provide actionable guidance to accelerate mitigation efforts.
The Contrast solution
Contrast Security provides a proactive approach to application and API threat detection, embedding security directly into the applications themselves, ensuring that SecOps teams can act quickly and confidently. Key capabilities include:
- Real-time application attack detection and blocking: Contrast operates from within the application, providing continuous visibility and blocking of both known and unknown vulnerabilities, including zero-day threats, in real time.
- Improved detection and response via integrations: Contrast integrates with SIEM, CNAPP and XDR platforms, enriching attack intelligence and enabling faster, more informed security decisions.
- Comprehensive visibility into application and API attacks: SecOps teams receive real-time alerts enriched with contextual information. This provides critical insights that significantly reduce time wasted chasing false positives and improve response accuracy.
- Guided runbooks for application incident response: Clear, step-by-step remediation guidance ensures SecOps teams can quickly validate and contain threats, minimizing damage and response time.
By providing deep application insights and intelligent automation, Contrast reduces noise and enhances security teams’ ability to focus on the highest-risk threats.
