Contrast Runtime Security Platform

The next evolution in application security.

Identify vulnerabilities and stop attacks in real-time with innovative, in-app technology

The modern application layer is too complex for legacy tools

Traditional application security—built on a patchwork of tools like Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Analysis Security Testing (DAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA)—often falls short due to fragmented results and a lack of meaningful context. These tools generate a significant number of noisy, independent alerts, demanding significant effort and specialized security expertise to correlate and prioritize. This approach results in a delayed and incomplete understanding of actual vulnerabilities, failing to capture the dynamic and nuanced context of runtime behavior.

Real-time, always-on security inside your applications and APIs

Contrast’s powerful Runtime Application Security technology equips developers, AppSec and SecOps teams with one platform that proactively protects and defends applications and APIs against evolving threats. Armed with the right knowledge, security teams can identify exploitable issues and incidents in real-time, delivering a more accurate and actionable security posture than they could with legacy tools.

You can't stop what you can't see

Secure applications from within
Experience the power of instrumentation by embedding threat sensors that detect and secure applications from within.

Observe and detect vulnerabilities
Gain visibility and secure the entire application stack and software supply chain, detecting exploitable vulnerabilities in real time.

Prioritize and respond to attacks
Leverage context-rich application threat alerts to quickly triage, prioritize and respond to advanced threats.

One platform

  • Manage all aspects of AppSec, from vulnerability assessment to attack mitigation
  • Monitor applications in dev, staging, and production to instantly flag policy violations.
  • Rich integrations with DevOps and SecOps tooling and workflows.

Unified infrastructure

  • Detect exploitable vulnerabilities often missed in development but uncovered in production, without impacting performance
  • Threat sensors within every environment provide instant protection for Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, Go and more.
  • Apply security rules instantly across all applications, without the need for re-deployment.

Any application

  • Secure the full application stack, including third-party applications, custom code and dependencies.
  • Real-time, integrated dashboards covering inventory, attack surface, vulnerabilities, threats, defenses, connections and more
  • Analyze security data from hundreds or thousands of applications across all environments.

A platform built for every stage of runtime security

CONTRAST APPLICATION DETECTION AND RESPONSE (ADR)
