Rasp REST API: Real-Time Runtime Security for Your Applications

RASP, or Runtime Application Self-Protection, is no longer just a security add-on. When exposed through a REST API, it becomes a living part of your application stack—detecting, blocking, and reporting hostile actions as they happen. A Rasp REST API gives you direct programmatic control over your runtime security engine with predictable endpoints and structured payloads. You integrate it once, and every request through your app gains an inline shield.

The core advantage is speed. REST’s stateless architecture pairs well with RASP’s need for rapid, context-aware analysis. Whether you’re hitting /threats, /rules, or /metrics, each call delivers actionable data your pipelines can handle in real time. When implemented correctly, the Rasp REST API won’t just report attacks—it will enforce protection rules at execution, lowering the window between detection and response to zero.

Key features most Rasp REST APIs expose include:

• Threat event streams – Continuous JSON feeds you can ingest into SIEM tools.
• Rule management endpoints – Create, update, and delete RASP rules without redeploying code.
• Runtime metrics – CPU, memory, and latency impact stats per protection rule.
• Incident replay – Retrieve a full context snapshot of the blocked request for analysis.

Integration steps are straightforward for teams who already run REST infrastructure. You authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens. You send POST requests to register rules. GET calls provide live security telemetry. No custom protocol. No vendor lock beyond endpoint paths. This simplicity allows fast deployment into CI/CD pipelines and microservices architectures.

Security managers can wire the Rasp REST API into monitoring dashboards, while developers automate response flows—disable endpoints under attack, ban suspicious IP ranges, or tighten validation in specific routes. Because it runs inside the application’s runtime, RASP has deeper visibility than firewalls or intrusion detection systems, and the REST API ensures that visibility is available on demand.

The combination of REST and RASP strikes directly at the root of runtime threats. No wasted motion, no blind spots. If you need your application to defend itself while still being transparent and programmable, deploy a Rasp REST API now.
