What is the primary purpose of Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) in application security?
To detect and block attacks during application execution
To scan source code for vulnerabilities during development
To facilitate secure communication between application components
To ensure compliance with security policies during deployment
The correct answer is to detect and block attacks in real-time during application execution. RASP is a security technology that integrates with an application to monitor its behavior and the context of that behavior. When it detects attacks or abnormal behavior, it can take protective actions, such as terminating a user session, alerting administrators, or blocking specific transactions, all at runtime.
Scanning source code for vulnerabilities during development is the purpose of Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools, not RASP.
Facilitating secure communication between application components would typically be handled by encryption, API gateways, or service meshes rather than RASP technology.
Ensuring compliance with security policies during deployment would be handled by security policy enforcement tools, compliance verification tools, or secure deployment pipelines rather than RASP, which operates during runtime after deployment.
