In this section:

The Contrast score represents the risk of an issue or incident at a particular point in time.  Contrast determines this score by using information from the Contrast SAST, IAST, SCA, ADR, and Observability technologies.

An issue is a collection of one or more observations and includes all Contrast data about a particular vulnerability or attack.

An incident is a collection of one or more issues and observations that demands an immediate response from the organization. Contrast creates incidents automatically based on ADR rules.
