Go agent
The Contrast Go agent is a source code rewriter that instruments Go web applications for library support and vulnerability reporting. It uses a tool called contrast-go to inject instrumentation into your applications at build time, providing runtime insight into the source code and libraries that make up your application. When you run an instrumented application, the Go agent automatically starts and monitors the application’s execution to detect vulnerabilities.
The latest Go agent supports Assess (IAST), Protect (RASP), and Observe features.
Note
As a source code rewriter, installing the Go agent in an application requires access to the application build environment.
