About Contrast Security

Contrast Security provides a security platform specifically designed for application developers to identify and fix security risks as they code. The platform operates in real-time, allowing developers to address vulnerabilities during the development process, which helps speed up release cycles and enhance application security. It includes tools for Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to find code vulnerabilities and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) for faster and more accurate assessments. Unlike many competitors, Contrast Security focuses on integrating security directly into the development workflow, making it easier for developers to maintain secure coding practices. The company's goal is to empower developers to create secure applications efficiently while reducing costs and improving productivity.
