Contrast Security has announced the release of what it calls the first unified platform designed to detect, prevent, and remediate application-layer attacks in real time. The AI-driven platform aims to tackle growing security threats in modern software environments by offering developers and security teams a consolidated view into application risks-without relying solely on traditional perimeter defenses.
This innovation combines attack visibility, automated threat blocking, and vulnerability remediation within a single interface, streamlining workflows and reducing the time from detection to response. The platform also integrates seamlessly across the software development lifecycle, ensuring security measures are embedded from code to production.
Jeff Williams, an OWASP Founder, Contrast Security Founder and CTO, said, “Northstar is the culmination of everything we’ve learned about defending modern software. We didn’t just bolt together another set of tools—we reimagined AppSec from first principles. By combining runtime observability, real-time graph context, and AI-powered automation, we built a platform that doesn’t just find problems—it understands them, prioritizes them, and helps teams fix them fast. This is the platform I’ve wanted since OWASP’s earliest days—one that doesn’t just generate alerts, but actually defends the software that powers our world.”

With the growing complexity of cloud-native and distributed applications, the Contrast platform addresses a critical gap in cybersecurity by enabling teams to stop active threats before they evolve into full-scale breaches. This launch reinforces Contrast Security’s commitment to empowering DevSecOps with AI-powered tools to build, monitor, and protect software at scale.
