Contrast Security provides a unified security platform aimed at application developers, enabling them 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 for Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST). SAST helps developers find vulnerabilities in their code, while IAST offers a faster and more accurate method for detecting issues. This proactive approach not only enhances application security but also accelerates development cycles. Contrast Security differentiates itself by focusing on real-time risk detection and providing visibility into serverless architectures, along with protection against zero-day vulnerabilities. The company's goal is to empower developers to create secure applications efficiently, ultimately improving productivity and reducing costs.
