Imperva RASP

Imperva RASP provides runtime application protection that integrates with Imperva’s broader security platform, including their industry-leading Web Application Firewall (WAF).

What is Imperva RASP?

Imperva RASP is a runtime application self-protection solution that embeds security directly into applications.

It works alongside Imperva’s WAF and other security products to provide defense-in-depth protection.

The key differentiator is the tight integration with Imperva’s existing security ecosystem, making it attractive for organizations already invested in Imperva products.

Key Features

WAF Integration

Imperva RASP shares intelligence with Imperva WAF:

• Attack patterns detected by RASP inform WAF rules
• Coordinated blocking across network and application layers
• Unified dashboard for security visibility

Runtime Protection

The RASP agent protects against:

• SQL injection
• Cross-site scripting (XSS)
• Remote code execution
• Authentication bypasses
• Business logic attacks

Attack Analytics

Imperva provides detailed attack analytics:

• Attack visualization and timelines
• Attacker profiling
• Threat intelligence correlation
• Incident response workflows

How It Works

Imperva RASP uses an agent-based approach:

Application Server
    └── Imperva RASP Agent
            ├── Monitors application execution
            ├── Detects attack patterns
            ├── Reports to Imperva Cloud
            └── Blocks malicious requests

The agent instruments the application runtime to monitor security-sensitive operations without requiring code changes.
