Contrast Security provides a security platform specifically designed for application developers to identify and fix security risks in real-time during the development process. The platform operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, offering tools like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to find vulnerabilities in code and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) for faster and more accurate assessments. This approach allows developers to enhance application security while speeding up their development cycles. Unlike many competitors, Contrast Security focuses on empowering developers directly within their coding environment, providing visibility into serverless architectures and protection against zero-day vulnerabilities. The goal is to improve overall application security and increase developer productivity, ultimately delivering a return on investment within five months.
