Contrast specializes in next-generation code security tools that help companies keep their applications secure from hackers.
Contrast recently closed a $150 million Series E round of funding led by Liberty Strategic Capital, a venture capital firm founded by former Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin. The fund has also pumped some cash into Cybereason, a security start-up backed by Mnuchin.

VMware’s first foray into the public cloud market was a complete flop. The company tried to create an AWS-like cloud on its own, but failed.
