Case Study: Storebrand strengthens real-time application security with Contrast Security

Powering Storebrand’s layered approach to securing financial services

Storebrand, a leading Nordic financial services company, needed to strengthen application and API security across its cloud-native banking, insurance, asset management, and pension platforms. With sensitive financial data, Kubernetes-based microservices, and growing API exposure, the company wanted better runtime visibility and protection without slowing developers down. Contrast Security was selected to help address these needs.

Contrast Security implemented an agent-based runtime application security approach, integrated with Storebrand’s Kubernetes environments and CI/CD workflows, to detect vulnerabilities in real time and reduce false positives. The solution helped Storebrand uncover previously undiscovered XML injection vulnerabilities, improve API security, and add another layer of defense beyond its WAF, resulting in stronger security posture, better developer efficiency, and faster remediation without disrupting delivery.
