Contrast ADR

How do you protect against applications in your SOC environment today? People invest in a lot of different tools when it comes to the vast threat landscape they have to defend against, but the application layer itself has very few options if you really look at what your defenses are. They largely center around maybe a web application firewall and, some CDN solutions as well.

But the problem with these types of defenses is that they're very static in nature, and more importantly, they sit at a layer that just don't give you detailed visibility into the application.

That is the problem that Contrast Security tries to solve.

In this video, Jeff Williams, Founder and CTO of Contrast Security, chats with Chris Hughes, CEO of cybersecurity consulting firm Aquia and a former Cyber Innovation Fellow (CIF) at the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), about Contrast Application Detection and Response (ADR).
