Contrast Security Code Platform vs Competition

Contrast transforms how businesses approach application security by embedding intelligent agents directly into the code, instrumenting applications with thousands of smart sensors that detect real vulnerabilities with game-changing accuracy and precision–left through the development pipeline and right into production, wherever your applications are deployed

Contrast’s embedded approach to secure coding enables continuous observability of your entire application portfolio - from development, to production, to cloud-native.

Capability	SAST	SCA	DAST	WAF	Contrast Security	Why Contrast
