The white paper by Contrast Security discusses the limitations of traditional Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools in the context of modern application development, highlighting their inefficiency due to a high rate of false positives and lack of scalability and usability. It introduces Contrast Scan, a pipeline-native scanning solution designed for modern applications and CI/CD pipelines, offering demand-driven static analysis and risk-based policies for early vulnerability detection. Contrast Scan aims to align security and development goals, improving code quality for production by reducing noise and focusing on critical vulnerabilities, contrasting it with traditional SAST's volume-over-accuracy approach.
