Contrast Security Platform Update

Code security platform Contrast Security introduced a new capability for security observability with the aim of enhancing visibility into the security of apps and APIs. Contrast’s new security observability capability offers “total visibility into the security-relevant behavior of every application and API to accelerate threat modeling, penetration testing, risk prioritization and incident response,” the company said in a news release. The update to Contrast’s platform also enables continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in code—whether it’s custom or third-party code—as well as detection and prevention of exploit attempts, Contrast Security said.
