Operational Impact
The deployment of Contrast Assess has not only improved the company's application security technology but also brought about a cultural change within the organization. Security scans, which used to be perceived as an annoying checkbox, are now seen as an opportunity to make software safer. Developers are now actively participating in the delivery of secure applications, and many of them are excited about it. They have even formed an internal application security community that meets online regularly to discuss ways to write more secure code. The security and development teams are also getting better at prioritizing vulnerabilities. The company is now looking to extend its Contrast Assess deployment to the cloud to support the new infrastructure. | |
