Case Study: Contrast Security achieves end-to-end runtime visibility across CI/CD runners and developer machines with StepSecurity

Contrast Security cuts supply chain triage from hours to minutes with StepSecurity

Contrast Security, a leader in Application Detection and Response, faced a significant challenge with limited runtime visibility into their software development pipeline. They lacked insight into the processes and network traffic on their ephemeral GitHub Actions CI/CD runners and developer machines, making it difficult to quickly investigate potential compromises. To address this, they turned to StepSecurity.

By implementing StepSecurity's Harden-Runner and Dev Machine Guard solutions, Contrast Security gained continuous runtime visibility from developer laptops all the way to CI/CD runners. This allowed their team to cut investigation times for security events from hours to minutes, providing immediate answers during supply chain incidents and embedding security directly into their development process.
