Big news: Wiz + Contrast = Real-time AppSec in the Security Graph I’m excited to share that Contrast has partnered with Wiz to bring our runtime application and API security directly into the Wiz Security Graph. This one hits home for me — because I’ve seen firsthand how frustrating it is to chase down vulnerabilities with no context. With this integration, you get the real story of actual code behavior, not just a scanner alert. Here’s what it shows me: * Exactly where this problem exists in my enterprise * An exploitable SQL injection flaw in custom application code * The exact HTTP request that has the issue * A code trace and full data flow across the exact lines of code * Detailed remediation guidance All surfaced inside Wiz — and powered by direct runtime observation, not static scanning. That means fewer false positives, faster triage, and real exploitable risk you can take action on. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/esDZqn4S

“The real reason AppSec is so hard? It’s the complexity.” — Jeff Williams Modern software environments are vast and fragmented: -Dozens of code repositories -Hundreds of libraries -Countless APIs and third-party integrations -Millions of lines of code across constantly evolving infrastructure Application execution dynamically adapts to its user context, environment and infrastructure. Security ownership is spread across teams, vendors and open source.  And most AppSec tools still operate without understanding how the application actually runs. That’s the disconnect.
