Case Study: Unit4 reduces false positives and speeds DevOps with Contrast Security

Significantly Reduces False Positives And Speeds Devops Cycles With Contrast Application Security Platform

Unit4, a global technology company, was undertaking a companywide shift to DevOps, microservices, and a cloud-based delivery model while trying to standardize application security across formerly siloed teams. To replace manual, expertise-heavy security testing and reduce the burden of managing false positives, Unit4 evaluated several tools and moved toward automation with Contrast Security’s Contrast Assess platform.

With Contrast Security’s Contrast Assess, plus Microsoft Teams integration and implementation support, Unit4 enabled continuous in-application security scanning, instant alerts, and more actionable reporting for engineers and leadership. The results included 2–3x faster remediation, an estimated drop in false positives from 57% in pen-test reports to 7%, and about 72 hours of staff time saved on each customer pen-test report, while also improving secure coding practices through real-time feedback.
