Comprehensive Protection
Runtime protection monitors the application itself during execution and can detect attacks that might not be caught by the perimeter defenses.
Zero-Day Vulnerability Protection
Runtime protection, with techniques like behavior-based monitoring or dynamic instrumentation, can identify anomalies and detect attacks based on deviations from normal application behavior, providing protection against zero-day vulnerabilities.
Granular Application-Level Visibility
Runtime protection offers deep visibility into the application's internal behavior, such as function calls, memory access, or data flow. It can identify application-specific vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or malicious activities that may not be apparent at the network level, enabling targeted protection and faster incident response.
Defense Against Insider Threats
Runtime protection can help identify unusual behavior or unauthorized actions by users with legitimate access, providing additional defense against insider threats.
Adaptability and Self-Protection
Runtime protection solutions can adapt to changes in the application and its environment dynamically. They can self-protect and mitigate attacks in real-time, even if the application undergoes updates or changes. This agility ensures continuous protection without the need for manual rule updates or configuration adjustments.
