关于客户
Snap Finance, headquartered in Salt Lake City, is a financial services company that leverages data to empower consumers of all credit types to access what they need. Founded in 2012, the company employs over 1000 people and serves more than 3 million merchant and consumer customers, including over half a million mobile users. Snap Finance's technology combines over a decade of data, machine learning, and nontraditional risk variables to create a proprietary platform offering flexible consumer retail financing solutions. The company is committed to providing innovative financial solutions and has a strong focus on application security to protect its vast customer base and ensure seamless operations.
挑战
Snap Finance faced challenges with a fragmented set of Application Security (AppSec) tools, which led to a lack of a holistic view of vulnerabilities across applications. This fragmentation resulted in inefficient triage and remediation efforts, as teams struggled to prioritize security issues due to data aggregation from multiple sources. Developers lacked practical guidance, slowing down remediation and leaving potential security gaps. The overlapping functionalities of the tools led to duplicate vulnerability reports, creating a noisy environment. Snap Finance recognized the impact of tool sprawl on security, productivity, and developer experience, and aimed to consolidate solutions into a single platform to streamline processes and enhance coverage. They also sought to improve data integration to eliminate manual workflows, minimize errors, and provide real-time, comprehensive visibility into the security posture of applications.
解决方案
Snap Finance chose Contrast Security for its comprehensive real-time security, integrated workflows, and advanced collaboration features. The solution provided cloud-native support for cloud-based and microservices applications, with extensive vulnerability detection and comprehensive route coverage for Java and Node.js applications. Contrast's GitHub integration allowed developers to receive vulnerability details directly in their repositories, enabling them to address issues during the development cycle and speed up remediation. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) was a critical factor, embedding agents into the application runtime to enable continuous, real-time vulnerability detection in testing and production environments. This approach eliminated the need for separate scans, reduced false positives, and ensured that only exploitable vulnerabilities were flagged. Contrast's integrated Software Composition Analysis (SCA) capabilities scanned third-party and open-source libraries without additional tools, providing dependency mapping and version-specific remediation advice. By integrating the Contrast Runtime Security Platform into its CI/CD pipeline, Snap Finance automated security checks at every build and deployment stage, functioning like an embedded pentesting solution. This continuous, automated approach prevented builds with critical vulnerabilities from advancing to production through custom policies. The centralized reporting and analytics capabilities of Contrast provided a comprehensive view of all security metrics, delivering real-time insights and historical vulnerability trends across the organization.

Case Study
Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis
Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.
