Contrast Security announced the launch of Contrast One™, a new managed Application Security (AppSec) service.
Contrast One combines Contrast Security’s Runtime Security Platform with AppSec experts to help customers eliminate application vulnerabilities in development and stop attacks in production.
Contrast One is available now for Application Security Testing (AST) and Application Detection and Response (ADR). Customers will be able to accelerate detection and remediation of application and application programming interface (API) vulnerabilities while eliminating the complexity of managing their AppSec program.
Contrast One customers will see immediate time to value for AppSec programs:
- Transform your security approach: Shift from reactive vulnerability management to expert-assisted, proactive security embedded in your development pipeline.
- Managed security event detection: Gain confidence in the face of cyber threats with expert-led event detection that blocks and triages attacks with best-in-class security products.
- Optimize performance with expert guidance: Achieve full visibility into your AppSec posture with custom reports and dashboards that support compliance and governance efforts.
- Augment your team with trusted AppSec experts: Leverage Contrast Security’s team to handle your vulnerability assessments and remediation, reducing overhead costs of maintaining an in-house team.
“Many organizations don’t have the resources to build out a comprehensive AppSec team. Contrast One solves that problem, allowing organizations to excel at application and API security by leveraging Contrast’s expert staff and powerful technology,” said Jeff Williams, Founder of Contrast Security.
