OneAST aggregates data from multiple sources into a single dashboard:
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.
| Scenario | Recommended | |----------|--------------| | Strict data residency (air-gapped, gov, financial) | Contrast AST (on-prem) | | DevSecOps team wanting minimal ops overhead | Contrast Security One | | Need automated exploit validation (confirm vulns are real) | Contrast Security One | | RASP + IAST in production with active blocking | Contrast Security One | | Existing legacy deployment with deep customization | Contrast AST | contrast security one ast
Historically, Contrast was synonymous with IAST. However, the "OneAST" branding signifies an evolution. It is no longer just a runtime agent; it is a unified platform that bridges the gap between code and production.
Contrast One AST is a managed application security service that leverages to detect and remediate vulnerabilities in real-time. Unlike legacy tools that scan code from the outside (SAST) or poke at applications from the perimeter (DAST), Contrast One embeds lightweight sensors directly inside the running application.

Contrast One AST is primarily built for in enterprise environments who need to scale security without slowing down rapid release cycles. It is particularly effective for organizations moving toward "Shift Left" initiatives, where security responsibility is shared with development teams.
Security teams no longer need to correlate a SAST report (which says "Line 50 is risky") with a DAST report (which says "The login page is vulnerable"). OneAST combines these, telling the developer: "The vulnerable library Log4j is being actively exploited on line 50 of the Login Controller." However, the "OneAST" branding signifies an evolution
