Runtime Application Self-Protection integrates security directly into a running application to detect and block attacks in real time. RASP agents monitor application behavior from inside, analyzing inputs, function calls, and data flows. When RASP detects an attack pattern like SQL injection, it can block the request immediately.
RASP provides a last line of defense when other controls miss an attack. Security architects evaluate RASP for protecting critical applications where WAFs alone are insufficient. Unlike WAFs that only see network traffic, RASP understands application context, reducing false positives. RASP is growing in adoption for protecting APIs and microservices.
