Runtime Protection

Runtime Protection for Containerized Workloads

Validate what actually runs in production, detect drift from approved baselines, and maintain a defensible near-zero CVE posture at runtime.

Runtime Is Where Security Assumptions Break

Images and scans

Images and scans show what is packaged, not what executes

Runtime behavior

Changes after deployment due to drift and configuration variance

Security teams

Security teams lack evidence that production matches approved builds

Build-Time Controls Cannot Prove Runtime Integrity

Evidence expectations

Approved images can diverge from what actually runs in clusters
Vulnerable components may remain active even after remediation at build time
Auditors and customers increasingly ask for runtime-verifiable evidence

Runtime Visibility and Evidence

RBOM Artifacts

RBOM artifacts tied to live workloads

Drift Detection

Detection of drift from approved images and configurations

Production Confirmation

Clear confirmation of which components are actually active in production

 Operational and Security Outcomes

Reduction in CVE Noise

Maintain a near-zero CVE posture beyond build time

Kernel Agents Required

Reduce uncertainty during incidents and security reviews

Real-time Verification

Provide continuous, runtime-verified evidence for audits and compliance

Secure What You Deploy, Verify What You Run

Runtime protection ensures that the security posture you approve is the posture that actually exists in production. RapidFort extends vulnerability reduction and hardened foundations into runtime with verifiable evidence.

Use Case - Runtime Protection

See What Your Containers Actually Run - Instantly and Safely

Runtime is where real risk appears. RapidFort gives you agentless, real-time visibility into container behavior, detects unauthorized changes, and maps KEV exposure across clusters - all without injecting agents, sidecars, or modifying workloads.

3 Supporting Points

Agentless execution mapping across cloud, hybrid, edge & air-gapped clusters
Detect runtime drift, anomalies, and unexpected binaries in real time
Map KEV exposure to live workloads - not just image digests

Your Images Tell One Story. Your Runtime Tells Another.

Static scans predict intent; runtime reveals truth - and attackers exploit the gap.

Hidden Execution Paths

Containers load binaries and libraries never visible in SBOMs or manifests.

Drift Faster Than Detection

Missed rebuilds, hot patches, and silent config changes distort approved baselines.

Agentless Environments Need Visibility Too

Regulated and latency-sensitive clusters cannot run agents - yet still require runtime intelligence.

The Most Critical Part of Your Environment Is the Least Observed

No Insight Into Live Execution

Static analysis shows what’s inside an image - not what actually runs inside a pod.

Drift & Unauthorized Behavior Go Unnoticed

Runtime divergence, shadow updates, and unexpected binaries remain invisible without continuous profiling.

 KEV Triage Is Slow and Uncertain

Teams struggle to locate where a KEV-vulnerable component is actively loaded.

Multi-Cluster Blind Spots

EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, k3s, and air-gapped clusters behave differently - creating fragmented visibility.

Real-Time Runtime Intelligence - 100% Agentless

RF Cluster Analyzer surfaces what actually executes inside containers, using only Kubernetes-native, read-only access. No agents. No mutations. No performance hit.

Execution Mapping Without Agents

Discover every binary, process, and library actually executed
Reveal hidden runtime paths scanners never report
Works across cloud, hybrid, edge & air-gapped Kubernetes

Drift & Anomaly Detection

Flag unexpected binaries, configs, and behaviors
Compare runtime to approved baselines
Highlight tampering, shadow updates, or mismatched images

Live KEV Exposure Mapping

Pinpoint where KEV-affected components are running right now
Reduce triage time from days to minutes
Provide precise scoping for SOC & IR teams

RBOM™: Runtime Bill of Materials

Generate a real-time inventory of executed components
Remove dormant CVE noise and false positives
Provide evidence for FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS

Runtime Protection Built for Modern Infrastructure - Not Legacy Agents

Observe Without Interference

RapidFort connects via Kubernetes APIs only - never modifying workloads.

No kernel agents
No sidecars
No pod mutations
Zero performance overhead

Understand Actual Behavior

Runtime profiling reveals:

Active execution paths
Loaded shared libraries
Unexpected binaries
Container-to-host interactions

Outcome

Runtime becomes the most accurate source of truth.

Act With Immediate Clarity

When a risk appears, RapidFort shows:

What happened
Where it’s running
Whether it’s exploitable
How to remediate or swap the image

Outcome

No hunting. No guesswork. No manual correlation.
