Contrast Security

Founded by Jeff Williams in 2014

Detect and block attacks inside applications in real time without signatures

Pricing model

Free Tier, Paid

Time to value

Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Contrast Security to monitor applications from within and block real-time cyber attacks. The software embeds directly into running code to trace execution paths, finding security flaws created by human developers or automated coding assistants. Instead of scanning code from the outside, it maps live attack paths to specific lines of code. This allows development teams to pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities, filter out harmless alerts, and stop malicious requests immediately in production without slowing down deployment pipelines or relying on static signature updates.

What Contrast Security does

Instrument application runtimes to observe method callsBlock suspicious HTTP requests before execution occursTrace incoming web traffic down to specific code pathsFilter out unreachable code vulnerabilities from triage listsVerify whether flagged CVEs can actually be exploitedMonitor security posture across production deploymentsMonitors application execution from inside the running codeBlocks attacks directly in production environments in real timeMaps active attacks directly to the vulnerable lines of codeIdentifies vulnerabilities in AI-generated and third-party codeEliminates false positives by verifying exploitability dynamicallyProtects applications without relying on static attack signatures
