Application Detection and Response

Raven is Language-agnostic by design. Raven works across all major programming languages, without language-specific agents or rules.  One model. One view. No blind spots. The program languages supported by Raven: Java (and any JVM based programming language), JavaScript (Node.js), Python, Go, Ruby, C++, C, Rust, PHP, Scala, Kotlin.

Yes! Raven is built for production. Raven is designed to run continuously in high-throughput, real-world production environments. No code injection. No request replay. No data exfiltration pipelines that break at scale.

Runtime ADR (Application Detection & Response) is a security approach that detects and responds to attacks from inside the running application, based on real code execution - not network traffic, signatures, or known malware patterns.

EDR, CWPP, and WAF operate outside the application, focusing on processes, files, network requests, or known patterns.
Raven ADR runs inside the application runtime, understanding which libraries and functions executed and how execution flows changed during an attack. For a full side-by-side breakdown, see Raven ADR vs EDR comparison.

No. Raven ADR does not rely on CVEs, signatures, or predefined attack rules.
It detects abnormal execution behavior at runtime, allowing it to identify attacks even when no CVE exists.

Raven observes actual execution paths - which libraries ran, in what order, and how execution deviated.
This context eliminates guesswork and heuristics, resulting in high-fidelity alerts with statistically negligible false positives.

Yes. Raven automatically maps runtime attacks back to the exact code change, including the commit, author, deployment, and service.
Security teams understand what happened - developers see where it came from and how to fix it.

Raven ADR is deployed as a lightweight runtime component and integrates via standard deployment workflows (e.g., Kubernetes, Helm).
It requires no code changes, no code injection, and no request replay, and can be enabled incrementally per service or environment.

Best in class Performance: <0.2% CPU &<300MB RAM, when all modules are active. Raven is designed for high-throughput production environments. It analyzes execution at the library and function level using eBPF-based instrumentation, with negligible runtime overhead and no impact on application latency or stability.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) filters and blocks malicious HTTP traffic at the network edge using predefined rules and signatures. Application Detection and Response (ADR), by contrast, operates inside the running application and analyzes real-time execution behavior, function calls, and application telemetry. While WAFs are effective at stopping known attack patterns, ADR provides deeper visibility into how attacks behave after reaching the application layer. This enables security teams to detect evasive threats, business logic abuse, and attacks that bypass perimeter defenses. For a full side-by-sidebreakdown, see Raven vs WAF.

Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) focuses on automatically blocking or preventing malicious activity inside an application during execution. ADR complements this approach by prioritizing detection, investigation, and response through continuous runtime telemetry and behavioral analysis. Rather than simply stopping activity, ADR provides security teams with contextual insights into attack progression, affected functions, and attacker behavior. This broader visibility helps organizations investigate threats more effectively, reduce false positives, and identify sophisticated attacks that may not trigger prevention-based controls alone.

EDR wasn’t built for servers. ADR was.
EDR was born for workstations. But modern servers are different. They don’t just run operating systems; they run applications, APIs, frameworks, open-source libraries, and vulnerable functions. That is where today’s attacks happen. EDR can see that a process opened a shell, made a network connection, or behaved suspiciously. ADR goes deeper: it understands which application, library, function, and runtime path caused it - and can detect or prevent exploitation at the application layer.
