Contrast Security

Contrast Security is an application security platform that uses instrumentation-based agents to provide Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) across Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, and Ruby applications. The platform identifies, prioritizes, and defends against vulnerabilities and attacks in real time from inside running applications. Contrast's REST API enables programmatic access to TeamServer applications, libraries, vulnerabilities, and traces, authenticated via API key plus Authorization header (Base64 of username:service_key) and an Organization ID.

Contrast Security publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Applications API, Organizations API, Rules API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Application Security, AppSec, IAST, RASP, and SCA.

Contrast Security’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
