Contrast Scan is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool that supports 30+ languages and frameworks. It integrates into your CI/CD pipeline with lightweight scans, giving feedback at commit or pull request time so developers can fix exploitable vulnerabilities early without slowing delivery.
Unlike traditional SAST tools that often generate many low-risk findings or DAST tools that test running apps externally, Contrast Scan uses a “risk-based analysis engine” to pinpoint exploitable data paths and reduce false positives — delivering results measured in seconds, not hours.
It supports over 30 languages and frameworks, and integrates with developer tools, repositories and build pipelines — so it works across modern polyglot applications and CI/CD setups. The vendor stresses “rapid security scans” without slowing development.
You should see faster developer remediation workflows, fewer false-positives to triage and earlier detection of real vulnerabilities before code hits production. Because the tool emphasizes exploitable vulnerabilities and integrates into normal dev workflows, it helps shift security left and reduce lengthy fix cycles.
