Case Study: U.S.-Based Regional Credit Union achieves proactive, real-time application security and reduced costs with Contrast Security

Highlighting Business Value Through the Security Of Modern Software in Development and Production Environments

U.S. Based Regional Credit Union, a large financial institution serving rural customers, needed to deliver modern applications while protecting sensitive customer financial data and moving from ad hoc testing to a proactive, scalable security posture. To address this, the credit union partnered with Contrast Security and implemented Contrast Assess and Contrast Protect across its SDLC and production environments.

Contrast Security’s solution instrumented applications to continuously assess custom code (Contrast Assess) and block attacks in real time (Contrast Protect), sending accurate, low‑false‑positive findings and remediation guidance directly to developers. As a result, the credit union gained 24/7 visibility across environments, reduced penetration testing costs and false positives, sped time to business outcomes, and achieved continuous, automated protection without the need for additional security experts.
