RASP Just-In-Time Action Approval

The request came in. A high-privilege action. Before it could execute, RASP froze it mid-flight. A just-in-time approval prompt appeared—fast, precise, unskippable.

RASP Just-In-Time Action Approval is the missing control in modern application defense. Runtime Application Self-Protection already detects and stops malicious behavior from inside the app. But pairing it with just-in-time action approval turns runtime monitoring into runtime governance. No delayed audit logs. No blind trust. Each sensitive action pauses, checks, and demands explicit approval before proceeding.

This approach closes the gap between policy and execution. With RASP alone, you can detect and block threats. With just-in-time approval, you can enforce business rules, privilege boundaries, and zero-trust workflows. It works for critical operations like database resets, account deletions, large fund transfers, or system configuration changes. High-stakes actions move only when they have been verified at the exact moment they are initiated.

Implementation is straightforward when integrated at the code or framework level. The RASP agent hooks into the action, halts execution, and sends actionable metadata to an approval endpoint or system. Approvers can review contextual information—request origin, user authentication state, related session data—before choosing allow or deny. Decisions are logged in real time for compliance and forensic readiness.

Security teams gain strong guarantees against insider misuse and account takeover. Developers gain a simple pattern for protecting critical paths without heavy architectural overhauls. Compliance officers get proof of control, down to the second an action took place and the human who confirmed it.

RASP Just-In-Time Action Approval is not abstract policy. It is runtime enforcement with immediate human oversight, minimizing both attack surface and operational risk.
