The door slammed shut on insecure authentication. Kerberos RASP makes sure it never opens again.

Kerberos RASP is real-time application self-protection built for environments running Kerberos authentication. It does not just detect threats. It intercepts and blocks them before they breach the trust boundary. It runs inside the application layer, watching every ticket exchange, every request, every session. No blind spots. No delays.

Kerberos by design uses tickets for secure, mutual authentication between clients and services. Attackers target weak points: stolen tickets, forged service requests, replay attacks. Traditional perimeter defenses see the traffic but not the intent. Kerberos RASP attaches inside the process itself, validating ticket integrity, enforcing encryption policies, and killing malicious session attempts instantly.

Deploying Kerberos RASP means integrating a control point where detection and response happen in milliseconds. It logs and audits all authentication events, tying them to contextual data from inside your app. This allows faster incident triage and stronger policy enforcement. It scales for cloud-native and hybrid environments without breaking existing Kerberos realms.

Key capabilities include:

• Inline validation of Kerberos tickets with cryptographic checks.
• Pattern-based detection of replay and injection attacks.
• Immediate blocking of unauthorized service requests.
• Real-time instrumentation for audit and compliance.
• Direct integration with modern CI/CD pipelines for rapid deployment.

Security teams can tune detection thresholds, integrate with SIEM tools, and push updates without downtime. Kerberos RASP becomes an active component of your authentication architecture—lean, fast, and impossible to bypass when correctly configured.
