Viewing Application Protection

To protect your applications with RASP, you simply need to add probes to them, without having to modify application files.

Technical Principles

Probes (monitoring and protection code) are added to the checkpoints (key functions) of applications through dynamic code injection. The probes identify attacks based on predefined rules, data passing through the checkpoints, and contexts (application logic, configurations, data, and event flows).

Prerequisites

You have enabled HSS premium, WTP, or container edition.

Constraints

  • Currently, only Linux servers are supported.

  • So far, only Java applications can be protected.

  • The premium, WTP, and container editions support operations related to application protection.

Viewing Protection Settings

  1. Log in to the management console.

  2. Click image1 in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.

  3. Choose Prevention > Application Protection. Click the Protected Servers tab.

    Note

    If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select an enterprise project to view or operate the asset and scan information.
