Contrastsecurity

Contrastsecurity is an application security platform designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities directly within their software development lifecycle. It provides continuous, real-time security analysis for applications in development, testing, and production, enabling teams to detect exploitable issues as code is written and deployed. The platform’s primary purpose is to embed security into modern DevOps and cloud-native workflows without disrupting developer productivity.

The platform offers interactive application security testing (IAST), runtime application self-protection (RASP), and software composition analysis (SCA) to cover both custom code and open-source dependencies. It instruments applications at runtime to observe actual data flows and execution paths, allowing it to detect true, exploitable vulnerabilities with fewer false positives than traditional scanning tools. Contrastsecurity integrates with CI/CD pipelines, issue trackers, and developer tools, automatically creating tickets and providing remediation guidance directly in the developer’s workflow. It also delivers centralized dashboards, policy management, and compliance reporting to support security and governance teams.
