Founded in 2014 by Jeff Williams (CTO) and Arshan Dabirsiaghi (Chief Scientist), Contrast Security is the world’s leading provider of security technology that enables software applications to protect themselves against cyberattacks, heralding the new era of self-protecting software.
Contrast’s patented deep security instrumentation is the breakthrough technology that enables highly accurate assessment and always-on protection of an entire application portfolio, without disruptive scanning or expensive security experts. Only Contrast has sensors that work actively inside applications to uncover vulnerabilities, prevent data breaches, and secure the entire enterprise from development, to operations, to production. Contrast Security is one of the first companies to enable enterprise-grade application security that’s both easy to deploy and use in the cloud. Its solutions, Contrast Assess and Contrast Protect, work together continuously across popular development (Agile, waterfall, hybrid, etc.) and deployment (DevOps, cloud, containers, hybrid, etc.) methods. With Contrast Security, organizations using AWS enjoy the agility of self-protecting software across the software development lifecycle.
Together, Contrast Assess and Contrast Protect provide organizations with a comprehensive self-protecting software solution that works on the cloud and off, during an application’s development through deployment. It’s a continuous approach that marries security with the DevOps process without impacting performance.
