Contrast Security Solves Enterprise Application Security ChallengesPALO ALTO, Calif., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrast Security, creator of the world's fastest application security software, today announced new Contrast Enterprise features that respond to the company's customers' need to eliminate risk at an unprecedented scale. Unlike competing products that have not delivered on the promise of fast application security over the last decade, Contrast actually makes securing applications wickedly fast and highly accurate, radically diminishing the number one cybersecurity threat to enterprises today. Enhancements to Contrast include a broad range of enterprise benefits: Increased Speed Contrast's improved REST API and scriptable zero-configuration installers provide complete automation of application security into any software development life cycle (SDLC) and toolset. Scriptable, no-configuration installers and expert remediation guidance help speed up application delivery. With Contrast Enterprise, there is no more waiting for security to review the code. Greater Accuracy and Broader Coverage Support for the most recent version of Java (Java 8) and legacy versions of Microsoft .NET ensures Contrast-secured enterprises are covered for both incoming and legacy applications. Contrast Enterprise software updates include .NET support for IIS6 and IIS Express for wider coverage of vulnerable legacy applications earlier in the development cycle, helping eliminate vulnerabilities in development. A number of Contrast Enterprise customers – particularly those in the financial services and healthcare sector – frequently utilize standalone applications. Contrast Enterprise has extended its coverage to include these critical corporate applications. Easy to Use Once users are on-boarded, they benefit from a new and modern user experience and dozens of feature and design improvements. These updates ensure a wide range of non-experts will quickly find, prioritize and remediate application risks themselves. "We launched and have continued to build on Contrast to respond to the needs of enterprises that have been woefully underserved by legacy application security providers and technologies," said Jeff Williams, founder and CTO of Contrast Security. "With Contrast Enterprise, we're succeeding in our mission to deliver powerful and innovative technology that fills a market vacuum and obviates the traditionally slow, inaccurate and expert-only status quo. Contrast gives enterprises the power to stop attacks at portfolio scale without compromising speed or accuracy." Contrast Enterprise was first launched in 2013. Since then, it has been rapidly adopted by a diverse range of enterprise customers, including some of the largest financial institutions in the world. As a testament to the product's effectiveness, Contrast Security was named a leader in the Forrester Wave™ Application Security, Q4 2014 report. Conducted by Forrester Research, Inc., the report used an 82-criteria evaluation process to identify the 12 most significant service providers in application security. In addition to the Forrester acknowledgement, the company was also positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of the 2014 Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing. By empowering organizations to implement continuous application security that works at agile speed and portfolio scale, Contrast Enterprise played a pivotal role in Contrast Security's selection as an industry leader and visionary. Contrast's customers have also recognized the effectiveness of this role.
