Company mission
To help software-driven companies take full advantage of the application economy by getting secure code moving across their complete software development lifecycle.
Our take
As cyberattackers become more sophisticated, security software needs to do the same to protect an organization's technological infrastructure. But rather than having security software that performs disruptive scanning or specialized security experts, it is better for software applications to protect themselves. Less holes can be exploited if attack prevention features are fully integrated.
Contrast Security is a software security platform pioneering a new era of self-protecting software. The company claims that only its software contains sensors that are embedded within applications to uncover vulnerabilities, prevent data breaches, and secure the entire enterprise. This enables teams to accelerate development cycles at scale.
However, the reality of cybersecurity is that there is no silver bullet. Thus, despite demonstrating unique and impressive value, Contrast will always be fighting for dollars with competitors like Veracode. Nevertheless, the company's continued development of new capabilities is sure to keep it in the game.
