Case Study: Kaizen Gaming achieves shift-left application security and 15-day MTTR reduction with Contrast Security (Contrast Assess)

How Kaizen Gaming shifted application security left to improve risk while driving efficiencies for development and security teams

Kaizen Gaming, a leading GameTech company operating Betano and Stoixman with 28 Scrum teams and hundreds of millions of annual transactions, faced late discovery of vulnerabilities from reliance on periodic penetration testing and DAST. These blind spots and end-of-cycle remediation created security debt and slowed releases. After evaluating multiple options, Kaizen Gaming selected Contrast Security’s Contrast Assess (with Contrast Support Services) to shift security left without disrupting developers.

Contrast Security deployed Contrast Assess quickly (POC in one day, production in another half day), instrumenting applications for continuous in‑app scanning and integrating with Jira. The tool immediately uncovered five previously missed vulnerabilities (three requiring prioritized remediation), cut mean time to remediate by about 15 days, saved up to 1.5 days per reporting cycle, automated risk prioritization, reduced security debt, and accelerated deployments—while simplifying reporting for auditors and business leaders.
