Contrast Security, the leader in Application Detection and Response (ADR), today unveiled a shift to a channel-first strategy, designed to accelerate global adoption of its cutting-edge application security solutions. This move significantly expands its partner program, increasing joint go-to-market investments and will enable a wider network of solutions providers to deliver unmatched application security solutions to global enterprises.

This decision builds on new collaborations with industry leaders Splunk and Wiz, reinforcing the company's mission to protect applications and APIs from attacks—end to end, from development through production—with Contrast AST and ADR.

"Organizations are frustrated with legacy AppSec approaches that create bottlenecks and fail to stop real threats," said Scott O’Rourke, Chief Revenue Officer at Contrast Security. "By going channel-first, we’re amplifying our ability to deliver real-time attack prevention and vulnerability monitoring to more enterprises—through the trusted advisors they already rely on."
