Raven Runtime Application Protection

Raven provides runtime security for cloud native applications through technology that monitors application behavior without instrumentation or performance impact. The company's platform focuses on three core capabilities: Runtime SCA (Software Composition Analysis), Runtime Prevention, and Runtime ADR (Application Detection and Response).

The company's technology enables visibility into application behavior at runtime, addressing vulnerabilities and threats that exist within the application layer. This approach allows organizations to detect and prevent attacks in real-time, manage software bill of materials (SBOM) and AI bill of materials (AIBOM), handle transitive dependencies, and protect applications during the window between vulnerability discovery and patch deployment.

Raven's solution addresses application layer attacks and vulnerabilities in cloud native environments. The platform can protect third-party applications independently and provides capabilities for vulnerability exploitability exchange (VEX). The technology operates without requiring code instrumentation, which differentiates it from traditional application security approaches that often introduce performance overhead.

The company was founded by three cybersecurity professionals with backgrounds at Symantec (Broadcom) and Israeli Defense Forces intelligence units. Originally focused on performance optimization, the team pivoted to cybersecurity after recognizing gaps in cloud application security, particularly around runtime visibility for cloud native applications. The company is backed by Silicon Valley investors and is based in Palo Alto, California.
