Contrast Security Named Publisher's Choice DevSecOps and Market Leader Software Development Lifecycle Security by Global InfoSec Awards

The Contrast Secure Code Platform's new unified DevSecOps approach honored with two awards at RSA Conference 2022

LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrast Security (Contrast), the leader in code security that empowers developers to secure-as-they code, today announced it will be presented with two Global InfoSec awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), including Publisher's Choice DevSecOps and Market Leader Software Development Lifecycle Security, at RSA Conference 2022.

Contrast Security's Secure Cloud Platform leverages a new unified DevSecOps approach that delivers accurate, continuous results within the CI/CD pipeline and developer tools. These results empower security and development teams to get secure code moving and enable businesses to take full advantage of the fast-moving application economy. Contrast accelerates DevOps by removing security bottlenecks from application development, reducing the noise of false positives, and scaling security wherever an application exists across its life span without specialized security training and staff. It also provides runtime observability of application code in production to protect both known and unknown vulnerabilities from being exploited.

"Our Secure Code Platform being named Publisher's Choice DevSecOps and Market Leader Software Development Lifecycle Security by Cyber Defense Magazine is a huge testament to our mission to get secure code moving and change the way people look at application security," said Steve Wilson, Chief of Product at Contrast Security. "We want to make it as easy as possible for DevSecOps teams, as well as individual developers, to build secure code at every step of the development process. That is exactly why we have taken our award winning Platform and made components free with our newest product offering - CodeSec."

Contrast Secure Code Platform also offers the following advantages:

• Provides continuous vulnerability testing as well as protection against in production through a single deployment that integrates seamlessly with existing software development life cycle (SDLC) processes, resulting in a full-stack view of application risk posture. 
• Delivers automated software composition analysis (SCA) by detecting security and compliance vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and frameworks.
• Delivers developer-friendly security testing that is purpose-build for serverless application development environments

"Contrast Security embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow's threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach," said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Contrast recently received two Gold 2022 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Serverless Security and Application Security and was selected as an SC Media 2022 Trust Award Finalist for Best Web Application Security Solution.
