Contrast Runtime Application Security Platform equips developers, AppSec and SecOps teams with one platform that proactively identifies runtime application vulnerabilities in pre- and post production in order to protect and defend applications and APIs against evolving threats. Armed with the right knowledge, security teams can identify exploitable issues, detect incidents in real-time, and block attacks. This enables them to achieve a more accurate and actionable security posture than they could with traditional network and endpoint security tools.
The Contrast Runtime Security Platform provides real-time, always-on security inside applications and APIs. Customers experience the power of instrumentation by embedding threat sensors that detect and secure applications from within. They gain visibility into runtime telemetry and secure the entire application stack and software supply chain to detect exploitable vulnerabilities in real-time, and leverage context-rich application threat alerts to quickly triage, prioritize and respond to advanced threats. Built on a common set of powerful technology, the Contrast Runtime Security Platform offers:
One platform. With the Contrast Runtime Security Platform, gain a single platform to manage all critical aspects of AppSec, from vulnerability management to attack migration. In addition to this, Contrast also monitors applications across all environments from development, staging, and production to instantly flag vulnerabilities and active exploits. It also integrations seamlessly with DevOps and SecOps tooling and workflows to ensure a seamless experience.
Unified infrastructure. Leverage threat sensors within every environment, to provide instant protection for Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, Go and more. Once the threat sensors are deployed, security rules can be applied instantly across all applications, without the need for re-deployment. Finally, there is minimal system impact. Contrast sensors detect exploitable vulnerabilities missed in development, without impacting performance.
Any application. Contrast uniquely secures the full application stack. This includes 3rd-party applications, custom codes, and dependencies. As the application data is fed into the platform, Contrast analyzes hundreds or thousands of applications across all environments to provide real-time dashboards that cover inventory, the attack surface, vulnerabilities, threats, defenses, connections and more.

This listing offers three independent pricing dimensions under one platform contract. You choose the modules you need rather than moving through fixed tiers. Contrast Assess is billed per application, so cost scales with the number of applications you monitor. Contrast Scan is billed per project, so cost scales with the number of scanning projects. Contrast ADR covers runtime detection and response for applications and APIs. Each dimension is metered separately, letting you combine them based on your coverage needs. All three are sold as SaaS under a contract commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one application for Contrast Assess billing?
Contrast Assess is billed per application. The vendor describes an application as a set of independently deployable runtime components called services. A service handles a specific business capability, such as billing or shipping. A typical application groups several services together. Coverage for a new application begins once the agent starts reporting.
Which dimension drives my cost, and can I buy just one module?
You buy each module separately. Contrast Assess cost tracks the number of applications monitored. Contrast Scan cost tracks the number of scanning projects. Contrast ADR covers runtime detection and response for applications and APIs. The modules are metered independently and appear as separate line items, so you combine only what you need.
What does each module actually do, since they are priced separately?
Contrast Assess analyzes running code to find vulnerabilities during development and testing. Contrast Scan is static code scanning that runs in your build pipeline across many languages. Contrast ADR monitors production applications and APIs, detecting and blocking attacks at runtime. Each addresses a different stage, so pick the modules matching your coverage goals.

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Chainlink is at the forefront of financial innovation and the global tokenization trend. Traditional financial institutions and infrastructures, such as Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Central Bank of Brazil, UBS, SBI, Fidelity International, ANZ, and many others are adopting Chainlink as fundamental infrastructure as they move toward tokenizing trillions onchain.
The default scoring, for libraries sometimes be discouraging. There are some security risk categories that are not covered I have noticed that the product keeps improving. There is room for improvement in terms of SCA options and UI functionalities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The absence of alerts also limits our ability to proactively solve security threats. Navigating through the interface is difficult for users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contrast Security has transformed our cybersecurity approach. It continuously monitors our applications in time and identifies vulnerabilities promptly. It automates security testing and removes the necessity, for code reviews.

Contrast Security makes application security simple

What do you like best about the product?
Contrast makes understanding vulnerabilities easy. For every vulnerability found in custom code, there is an answer to what the vulnerability is, why it is a risk, and how to fix the vulnerability. It is also great at identifying libraries used within the application and the potential vulnerabilites for each library.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Contrast is great at identitfying libraries, the default scoring for the libraries can be very particular. It can make developers feel discouraged seeing an F score because the library is a version behind. There is a way to change the scoring to only look at associated vulnerabilities, but there is still a benefit to seeing libraries that are behind on updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Contrast's IAST product we are able to see vulnerabilities at runtime and it reduces the amount of false positives that we see with other tools. Communication with development teams has improved because the breakdown of vulnerabilities is so clear.

What do you like best about the product?
Contrast allows us to test an application during the run-time, which reduces the number of false positives we have to deal with in traditional SAST scans. The IAST testing combines SAST and DAST into one while identifying the issues in open-source libraries and custom code. The Integrations are easy and don't consume more system resources to run the agent. The Sales, TAM, management, and Support team has the customer-first approach; their support is amazing they cater to your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Language Support in IAST is a bit slow and manageable, but handling legacy applications is tough without having to scan some old versions of programming languages if they could expand their language support and have backward compatibility, that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing our application in Run-time is a huge advantage, while developers can remediate the vulnerabilities during the development phases. Their platform provides us the 360 visibility and security for our application, which is a key business problem for any fin-tech company.
