Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Contrast Security to protect web applications by monitoring them from within at runtime. It instruments your application to observe every method call, request, and attack path as code actually executes in production. It identifies exploitable vulnerabilities — including those in AI-generated code — and blocks attacks without relying on signature databases. It shows you exactly which lines of code are being attacked and provides specific fix guidance, reducing false positives and CVE triage work significantly.

What Contrast Security does

Instrument application code to observe runtime behavior without modifying sourceBlock malicious HTTP requests before they reach vulnerable application logicMap attack paths to specific lines of code in real timeFilter vulnerability reports to show only those actively exploitable in productionGenerate security reports showing attack volume, blocked threats, and fix statusIntegrate runtime security monitoring into existing CI/CD pipelinesAlert security teams when a new attack pattern targets a known vulnerabilityProvide developers with exact remediation steps tied to real exploit evidenceInstruments code from within the running application to observe real execution behaviorBlocks attacks in real time without needing signature databases or rule updatesMaps live attacks to specific vulnerable lines of code in a visual graphWorks on AI-generated, human-written, and open-source code without distinctionReports only verified exploitable vulnerabilities — not theoretical risksReduces CVE triage workload by flagging only what is actively reachable and exploitableProvides exact attack paths so developers know precisely what to fixAchieves near-zero false positive rates across large vulnerability datasets
