This guide explores the roles of Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) in securing applications. It discusses how WAFs serve as a first line of defense against common attacks, while RASP provides deeper, context-aware protection from within the application. The document highlights the benefits of combining both technologies to achieve comprehensive security against known and unknown vulnerabilities, ultimately raising the bar for application protection.
