Contrast Security

Contrast Security is an application security platform that provides real-time, always-on security monitoring integrated inside applications and APIs. It is designed for modern enterprises seeking to detect and stop attacks across the development and production lifecycle. The platform is described as an Application Detection and Response (ADR) solution, offering capabilities such as threat sensors, contextual risk scoring, threat analytics, security observability, security runbooks, real-time insights and alerts, and the Contrast graph. It also includes Contrast One AST (Application Security Testing) and platform services. The product aims to reveal the application layer to help users see and stop zero-day attacks and novel threats that might otherwise appear harmless. Contrast Security is positioned for organizations pursuing a DevSecOps approach, with customers reporting that it enables active integration of security into the software development lifecycle, allows developers to see the real-time impact of coding decisions, and helps fix issues earlier in the development cycle without slowing down continuous development environments. The platform incorporates Contrast AI, which is described as providing intelligent guidance and autonomous remediation to accelerate response times.
