RASP Self-Hosted Deployment: Own Your Security Stack End-to-End
RASP self-hosted deployment strips away dependency on external services. You control every byte in every function, monitoring and blocking attacks from inside the application at runtime. No delays. No blind spots.
Why RASP Self-Hosted?
Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) watches the app from the inside, analyzing each request, each execution path, and reacting before damage. Deploying it self-hosted puts the detection logic in your own infrastructure. It runs where you run, under your security policies, without sending data to a third party.
Core Advantages
- Full data sovereignty: Logs, payloads, and telemetry never leave your environment.
- Consistent performance: Minimal latency added since RASP operates locally.
- Custom rules: Adapt protection patterns instantly to your stack.
- Offline capability: Security that works even when the network is unstable or segmented.
Deployment Architecture
The process is direct. Provision your servers or containers. Install the RASP agent or library into your application runtime. Configure hooks for HTTP, database, and file system operations. Run baseline tests to measure overhead. Roll out to staging. Monitor metrics. Move to production when thresholds meet your SLA.
For containerized workloads, bake the agent into the image. For bare metal, install it through your package manager or custom script. Keep updates in sync with application releases. Automate configuration with environment variables or mounted config files.
Key Optimization Tips
- Enable only the modules your app needs to cut runtime cost.
- Integrate RASP logs with your SIEM for unified alerts.
- Set action thresholds that align with user experience tolerance.
- Use canary deployments for testing new rules before full rollout.
Security Maintenance
Review event logs daily. Patch both RASP and the host OS regularly. Rotate credentials for the configuration interface. Monitor for false positives and adjust rules accordingly. Measure CPU and memory usage during peak traffic to ensure sustained speed.
A self-hosted RASP deployment is not just installation. It’s continuous control. It’s closing attack windows before they open.
