Contrast AI provides a security platform that helps embed protection and vulnerability management into software applications. It offers a unified Runtime Security Platform with products like Contrast Assess (IAST) for real-time vulnerability finding during development and testing, Contrast Protect (RASP) for runtime defense in production, and Contrast SCA for checking security in open-source libraries. The platform integrates across the entire software development lifecycle to streamline collaboration between development and security teams (DevSecOps) and to secure applications without slowing down development. The company aims to help organizations continuously secure code from coding to production, combining testing, runtime protection, and software composition analysis in one system.
