Cloud Runtime Security
Secure Clouds at Runtime
Turn noisy alerts into validated exposures by continuously uncovering and automatically responding to active threats the instant they hit your cloud workloads.
Go beyond posture security with runtime detection and response
Posture management
Map your attack surface to identify misconfigurations and exposures before deployment.
Detection and response
Monitor live cloud environments to detect and neutralize active exploits as they happen.

What sets Rapid7 apart
Kernel-level visibility (eBPF)
Gain deep, real-time insight into system activity using eBPF sensors, enabling low-level monitoring without impacting performance.
Stop chasing alerts. Start understanding behavior.
An integrated AI engine monitors container behavior and automates a response when anomalies arise.
Behavioral, not just rules-based
Rapid7 leverages behavioral detection to identify evolving threats, going beyond rules-based methods that only rely on known signatures.
Connect the dots, from runtime to exposure
Rapid7 links container activity to exposures, enabling teams to continuously pinpoint which vulnerabilities are actively at risk.
Contain without disrupting the business
Rapid7 enables automated exposure containment, empowering teams to quickly stop threats and reduce the impact of an attack.

Frequently asked questions
Rapid7 cloud runtime security focuses on active threats in live workloads, while CSPM focuses on misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and risky cloud settings. Together, they help teams understand both what could be exploited and what may already be under attack.
Rapid7 supports real-time response by helping teams contain active cloud threats as they are detected. Response actions can include isolating workloads, stopping malicious processes, and accelerating investigation with attack-chain context and remediation guidance.
Most modern cloud attacks unfold as a sequence of small actions, with static scanning unable to catch these active sequences. Runtime visibility can catch live behavior, such as a workload initiating an outbound network connection to an unfamiliar destination.
While traditional cloud security providers rely heavily on reactive, rules-based engines that only catch known threats and require constant signature maintenance, Rapid7 cloud runtime security leverages eBPF sensors to learn the unique, predictable baseline of cloud-native applications.
This behavior-based approach allows Rapid7 to automatically detect and block zero-day attacks or novel supply-chain compromises the moment they deviate from normal behavior, delivering proactive protection without the administrative overhead of managing custom rules.
Rapid7 helps reduce cloud alert fatigue by adding runtime context and behavioral analysis so teams can prioritize suspicious activity tied to active risk. This helps security teams spend less time chasing theoretical exposures and more time investigating meaningful threats.
Behavior-based runtime capabilities detect and contain live threats, while posture and attack path analysis help fix structural risks before exploits occur. Together, they provide a unified platform to stop active attacks and instantly trace them back to root-cause misconfigurations.
