Overview

Contrast Application Security Monitoring (ASM) is a comprehensive security solution designed to provide continuous visibility and real-time protection for applications and APIs. By embedding security sensors within the application, Contrast ASM offers continuous monitoring and protection throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This platform ensures that vulnerabilities and threats are detected and mitigated instantly, without impacting application performance.

Features

• Continuous Security Visibility: Provides continuous monitoring of applications in development, staging, and production environments to detect vulnerabilities and policy violations.
• Embedded Security Sensors: Integrates security sensors within the application to provide instant protection for various programming languages including Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Go.
• Comprehensive Security Coverage: Secures the entire application stack, including third-party applications, custom code, and dependencies.
• Context-Rich Alerts: Provides detailed, context-rich alerts to help prioritize and respond to advanced threats quickly.
• Integration with DevOps and SecOps: Seamlessly integrates with existing DevOps and SecOps tools and workflows, enhancing the overall security posture.
• Vulnerability Management: Identifies and prioritizes exploitable vulnerabilities, reducing false positives and enabling faster remediation.
• Zero-Day Protection: Offers proactive protection against zero-day attacks by blocking exploits in real-time.
• Actionable Insights: Delivers actionable insights and guided runbooks to help security teams respond efficiently to threats.
• Security Dashboards: Real-time dashboards provide visibility into inventory, attack surface, vulnerabilities, threats, defenses, and more.
• Development Pipeline Integration: Integrates seamlessly with existing DevOps and CI/CD workflow tooling.
• Precise AppSec Alerts: Actionable insights pinpoint the exact code causing the issue, speeding remediation.
• Remediation Guidance: Provides developers with a head start on eliminating risks quickly.
