Just-In-Time Access Approval with RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection)

A firewall triggers. A request tries to slip through. The decision must be made now.

Just-In-Time Access Approval with RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection) gives you the control to decide at the moment of truth. No pre-granted privileges. No standing access waiting to be exploited. Each access attempt is evaluated and approved or denied in real time, based on context, risk, and policy.

RASP runs inside the application, not at the perimeter. It understands actual code execution and data flows. When combined with Just-In-Time Access Approval, it moves beyond static rules. Every request is subject to live inspection, ensuring only the right user, at the right time, can touch sensitive functions or data.

This model closes gaps left by role-based access controls or scheduled permission changes. Attackers can’t use stale credentials. Internal users can’t stockpile permissions. Access is temporary and tightly monitored, shrinking attack surface and eliminating blind spots.

Key benefits of Just-In-Time Access Approval RASP:

  • Granular, per-request access control at runtime.
  • Automatic expiry of permissions after use.
  • Real-time threat detection integrated into the approval workflow.
  • Centralized visibility into all access events.

Deployment requires hooking RASP tooling directly into your application runtime. Access approval logic connects to a lightweight, automated workflow—either via APIs or a security orchestration system. This keeps the decision path short, preventing latency from slowing the user experience while maintaining maximum protection.

The shift to RASP-backed Just-In-Time Access means every access decision is based on the truth of now. The system sees what the code is doing, watches for anomalies, and enforces policy without delay. Approval happens only when trust is verified. Trust expires when the task is done.
