Mobile runtime application self-protection (RASP) is a security feature, acting as a component of a mobile application and monitoring as well as protecting against real-time malicious external threats. It intercepts all calls to the host system by itself and installs security in it, as per the requirements. RASP proactively manages the real threat of sophisticated malware. Mobile runtime application self-protection detects and prevents deceitful activities even before they can run, securing the app from both known and unknown attack vectors. Moreover, it neutralizes potential threats, strengthens mobile application security, and protects high-value transactions and sensitive data from hackers.

Mobile runtime application self-protection offers several benefits, such as avoid false positives, protection from many types of security risks, easy maintenance, easily adapt new standards, cloud support, and DevSecOps support. The constant cyber-attacks on industries such as manufacturing, retail, banking and financial, healthcare, and telecom are influencing the adoption of mobile runtime application self-protection solutions. Over 80% of organizations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reported at least one cyber-attack in 2019. Moreover, the UAE registered around 2.4 million ransomware attacks in 2018.
