Do you know what weaknesses your own applications have?

Application security testing

Static, dynamic and interactive testing plus software composition analysis, to find flaws in both your code and everything it depends on.

What this covers

Four techniques answer four different questions. Static analysis (SAST) reads the source. Dynamic analysis (DAST) attacks the running application from outside. Interactive testing (IAST) instruments the application and watches from inside while it runs. Software composition analysis (SCA) checks the third-party libraries you did not write but are still responsible for.

Running all four is not the point; running the right ones and acting on the output is. Instrumented testing only reports vulnerabilities on code paths that actually execute, which is why it produces far fewer false positives than scanning source alone, and why the findings tend to get fixed rather than filed.

What’s included

  • Static application security testing (SAST) across your codebase
  • Dynamic application security testing (DAST) against running applications
  • Interactive application security testing (IAST) with runtime instrumentation
  • Software composition analysis (SCA) of third-party and open source dependencies
  • Findings triaged by real exploitability, not by scanner severity alone
  • Remediation guidance your developers can act on directly

Platforms and tools

Contrast SecuritySASTDASTIASTSCA
Contrast Security deploys one agent that covers both testing and production protection, so the same instrumentation supports application detection and response.
Every implementation can be backed by a 24/7/365 SLA support and maintenance agreement covering monitoring, incident response, configuration changes and platform updates, on-site or remote.
