Revolutionize application security workflows with the Contrast Graph.
Deep vulnerability insight for rapid incident response

Rapid, effective attack responses with enriched incident data surfaced in the Contrast Graph, including architectural, threat and business context directly from production.

Confidently manage real vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities are proven exploitable at runtime, mapped to entry points and data flows, and scored by real-world exploitability and business impact. Security diagrams show exact attack vectors.

Context-rich application security training

The Contrast Graph enables developers to get instant full-context feedback they can trust, reducing new vulnerabilities and cutting future remediation costs.

The Contrast Graph is a digital twin of application layer security constructed by observing applications and APIs while they run

  • Apps/APIs
  • Data flow
  • Asset criticality
  • Defenses
  • Attack surface
  • Incidents
  • Attacks
  • Libraries
  • Behaviors
  • Library usage
  • Blast radius
  • Probes
  • Business importance
  • Routes
  • Cloud IDs
  • Servers
  • Connections
  • Services
  • Control flow
  • Vulnerabilities
  • CVEs

The missing link that provides a holistic view of the application and API ecosystem

  • Integrated threat sensors

    Lightweight sensors installed on application and API servers automatically observe security behavior, collecting data for the Contrast Graph with near-zero performance impact via open telemetry.

  • Streamlining data architecture

    Sensor data flows through a modern streaming architecture, analyzed and merged into the Contrast Graph to support millions of applications and APIs in real-time.

  • Sophisticated graph model

    Sophisticated graph model built directly from sensors monitoring real-world application and API behavior, including assets, connections, behaviors, and issues for response by the appropriate teams.

  • Dynamic risk scoring

    The Contrast Graph uses production risk factors like asset criticality, exploitability, threat intelligence, and active attacks to dynamically update risk scores, ensuring focus is on what truly matters.
