Operational Impact
The deployment of the Contrast Application Security Platform has resulted in significant business value for CM.com. The company has seen tangible value in areas such as mean time to remediation (MTTR), with serious vulnerabilities identified earlier in the SDLC. The company has also seen efficiency gains in the full range of application security processes. The security team now spends less time analyzing SAST and penetration testing reports, and it is easier to produce compliance reports. These efficiency improvements have translated into faster development cycles for CM.com. The company has also seen cost savings due to its Contrast deployment, with a recent downturn in the amounts paid to security researchers through CM.com’s bug bounty program. The use of Contrast SCA has also resulted in less time spent on triaging and diagnosing security alerts and remediating vulnerabilities. Overall, the secure SDLC initiative has been a huge success, with CM.com delivering highly secure applications while lowering costs and speeding up development. | |
