The alert fired without warning. A hidden script was pulling code from an unverified source. The logs told the truth: nobody knew where it came from.
This is exactly why RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection) and a full Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) cannot be optional. Together, they deliver visibility into every component running inside your application while stopping threats in real time.
An SBOM is a detailed inventory of all software dependencies, libraries, and frameworks your app uses. In RASP security, that bill of materials becomes a living map — updated as code runs — so you can trace vulnerabilities to their exact origin. When integrated, RASP doesn’t just block attacks; it cross-checks them against the SBOM, confirming whether compromised modules exist in production.
