Contrast further differentiates from traditional AppSec tools with new security observability capability that improves security visibility of an organization's most critical applications and APIs

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrast Security (Contrast), the code security platform built for developers and trusted by security, today announced its upcoming participation at Black Hat 2023, which is taking place Aug. 8-10 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. At the conference, Contrast will demonstrate a new security observability capability that provides a digital security blueprint of application and application programming interface (API) security behavior at Contrast's Booth, #2510D.

"We are proud to deliver application security for modern applications and APIs," said Andy Vallila, Chief Revenue Officer at Contrast Security. "By visiting Contrast's booth, attendees will get a better understanding of the embedded approach to secure coding with the Secure Code Platform. We look forward to sharing how our platform enables continuous observability of an organization's entire application portfolio — from development, to production, to cloud-native. We also encourage attendees to meet with us in-person at any of our Black Hat events."

Attendees will witness the power of Contrast's Secure Code Platform, where they can learn how to Shift Smart with Contrast to:

Observe: Gain total visibility into the security-relevant behavior of every application and API to accelerate threat modeling, penetration testing, risk prioritization and incident response.
Assess: Continuously monitor for vulnerabilities in both custom code and third-party code. Provide instant feedback directly to developers with industry-leading accuracy that drives fast remediation.
Protect: Detect and prevent exploit attempts on both custom code and third-party libraries. Protect legacy applications and APIs as well as new code that may have vulnerabilities in production.

Contrast will also preview the new security observability capabilities for applications designed to improve security posture. The capability — which is set to release in the fall — empowers security teams with enhanced Application Security (AppSec) observability, transforming their security assessments with accurate runtime insights into application architecture and software composition. This always-on feature delivers continuous monitoring and deep insights based on actual application behavior. By creating a security blueprint of how the application behaves, including attack surface, security mechanisms, dangerous methods and backend connections, security teams have a deeper understanding of how to build a stronger security posture, understand the context of the application and respond quickly to security incidents.

"The key to unlocking a healthy and cost-effective AppSec program is understanding context and visualizing how software actually works," said Jeff Williams, CTO and Co-Founder at Contrast Security. "Contrast's enhanced AppSec observability dramatically simplifies and accelerates processes by creating digital security blueprints that provide the context missing from other AppSec tools."
