The Contrast Runtime Security Platform underpins all Contrast Security products and delivers a common set of powerful services.
The “Secure from Within” approach to application security helps organizations block attacks in production - through the Contrast ADR solution and prevent insecure programming early in development - through the Contrast AST technology. It easily scales to protect your entire software portfolio, including applications, application programming interfaces (APIs) and even third-party applications.
