Veracode Runtime Protection

Veracode Runtime Protection is a Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution engineered to defend enterprise web applications and APIs from zero-day exploits, memory injection attacks, and application-layer threats from within the running application environment. Operating as an intelligent runtime sensor, it provides active defense without requiring code modifications or signature updates.

The technology embeds directly into application runtime environments—such as Java Virtual Machines (JVM) and Microsoft .NET CLR—inspecting application execution and data flow logic in real time. Core technical capabilities encompass automated detection and blocking of SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), command injection, and deserialization attacks, memory corruption prevention, real-time alert generation to enterprise SIEM platforms, and granular policy enforcement modes (monitor or block). By analyzing actual application context, it accurately identifies malicious input only when it will execute unsafely.

Enterprises in banking, e-commerce, and healthcare deploy Veracode Runtime Protection to safeguard critical legacy applications and third-party commercial software where source code remediation is difficult or time-consuming. It integrates smoothly with enterprise monitoring tools including Splunk and Syslog. Common operational use cases include providing instant virtual patching for newly disclosed zero-day vulnerabilities, protecting mission-critical web portals against sophisticated web exploits, stopping active ransomware staging maneuvers, and maintaining stringent PCI-DSS runtime compliance controls.
