# Implementing Runtime Application Self-Protection

## Overview

Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) instruments application code at runtime to detect and block attacks by examining actual execution context rather than relying solely on network traffic patterns. Unlike WAFs that inspect HTTP requests externally, RASP agents intercept dangerous operations (SQL queries, file operations, command execution, deserialization) at the function level inside the application. Function-level context sharply reduces false positives relative to network-layer WAFs, but it does not eliminate them: blind spots remain for logic-layer attacks, un-instrumented code paths, and exotic parsers. Treat any RASP accuracy claim (including from vendors) as unverified until tested against your own traffic. This skill covers deploying OpenRASP for Java applications, configuring detection policies for OWASP Top 10 attacks, tuning alerting thresholds, and integrating RASP telemetry with SIEM platforms.


## When to Use

- When deploying or configuring implementing runtime application self protection capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
