On Thursday 10th June, Contrast Security will announce the release of ‘Contrast Scan’, the DevSecOps platform empowering financial services’ security teams to run scans up to 10x faster and fix vulnerabilities that matter up to 45x faster.
The launch comes at a time where 98% of financial services companies say they have experienced at least three successful application exploits in the past year.
Key points from the release
Contrast Scan uses ‘pipeline-native static analysis’ to analyse code and detect vulnerabilities early on in the software development life cycle (SDLC)
Contrast has worked on and developed its unique ‘pipeline native’ approach meaning it streamlines code analysis, finding vulnerabilities as they happen
Why now?
Recent findings from Contrast Security’s the State of application security in financial services report found:
Only 15% report application security and development tools are fully integrated
64% say that application security processes slow release cycles at least some of the time
Each vulnerability currently takes 10 hours of security team time and 10 hours of developer time to remediate for a majority of respondents
Contrast Scan is the answer, offering businesses revolutionary application security as we enter the new hybrid future of work
