These are the problems driving ASPM adoption and the reason aggregating scan data alone isn't enough.

The Contrast runtime security platform moves security posture from theoretical risk to active resolution. By using deep instrumentation, Contrast provides live visibility into applications, APIs and libraries to deliver ground-truth data.

Contextual prioritization

Confirms if vulnerable code is exploitable in specific environments, reducing the triage burden.

Integrated remediation

Delivers remediation using agentic AI to help harden the application security posture.

Real-time posture enforcement

Ensures security gates are always powered by runtime evidence, the moment new libraries are introduced.

Powered by the Contrast Graph

Contrast Graph correlates runtime reachability with live attack telemetry to produce risk scores grounded in evidence, not theoratical estimates. Know which vulnerabilities are reachable, which are under active attack and which to fix first.

Frequently asked questions

  • Contrast solves the core problems ASPM was built to address: prioritization, remediation and governance. Contrast does this by using runtime evidence from inside running applications rather than aggregated scan data.
  • If the goal is vulnerability prioritization and remediation, Contrast can handle that directly with runtime evidence. If you use ASPM for broad third-party tool aggregation and compliance reporting across your full scanner stack, Contrast complements that investment by providing the runtime data those platforms lack.
  • Runtime instrumentation verifies whether vulnerable code is actually reachable and exploitable in your environment. Attack telemetry from ADR identifies which vulnerabilities are under active exploitation. Together, these signals provide verified prioritization, not theoretical severity scores.
  • SQL injection, command injection, unsafe deserialization, path traversal, XSS and more — including zero-day attacks without a specific CVE or signature.
  • The average application gains 17 new vulnerabilities per month while teams fix 6. Contrast changes this math by focusing remediation on verified, exploitable risks and automating fixes with SmartFix to shrink the backlog rather than grow it.
