Specialized testing for modern architectures, including AWS Lambda functions and complex API endpoints, which are often missed by legacy scanners. Core Benefits

When a developer builds an application using an agent provided by Contrast (available for Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Go, etc.), the agent attaches to the application runtime. It places sensors at critical points—database calls, file system interactions, HTTP requests, and memory allocations.

OneAST aggregates data from multiple sources into a single dashboard:

Unlike traditional security tools that operate in silos, One AST integrates multiple testing methodologies—Interactive (IAST), Static (SAST), and Dynamic (DAST)—into a single, instrumentation-based interface. Key Capabilities

The most robust security tool is useless if developers ignore it. OneAST is designed to live where developers live, rather than in a siloed security portal.

A common complaint in AppSec is the tradeoff between testing depth and delivery speed. OneAST attempts to solve this by shifting testing left without slowing down the pipeline.

Automatically identifies known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and open-source dependencies, ensuring the entire "software supply chain" is secure.
