Kodem ADR uses Exploit Trigger Defense to identify and stop threats the moment they begin, before they become breaches. Most application detection and response tools detect symptoms. Kodem detects intent.
Kodem's ADR tool gives us signal, not noise. It detects the first function call in the exploit path, before damage happens.
Kodem ADR detects the initial trigger that launches the exploit path. This means no waiting for signatures or CVEs. No chasing logs after the fact. Just precise, real-time defense at the source.
Kodem intercepts the exploit the moment a vulnerable or sensitive function executes, not after the breach shows up in logs or traffic.
Kodem learns the normal behavior of every package and flags deviation in real time, so it catches zero-days and logic abuse without a CVE or signature.
Kodem observes inside application logic out-of-band with low overhead, no application restarts, and never runs third-party code in your app process, unlike instrumentation-based RASP.
Kodem combines runtime signals, code context, and execution flow to confirm exploitability and connect the attack to the precise code causing it.
When Kodem detects a live exploit, it can auto-generate a matching WAF rule or runtime guard, turning detection into an immediate mitigation that closes the gap until a patch ships.
Kodem streams detection events to your SIEM and SOAR and triggers automated incident workflows via webhooks, so response happens where your team already works.
Application Detection and Response (ADR) is a runtime application security category that detects and stops exploits at the moment they begin executing inside a production application. An ADR platform monitors function-level execution, learns the normal behavior of every package, and surfaces deviations in real time. Unlike WAFs that watch network traffic or EDRs that watch operating system processes, ADR sees what the application itself is actually doing.
A WAF inspects HTTP traffic at the network edge using pattern matching. A RASP runs inside the application via code instrumentation and applies rule-based input validation. ADR watches function-level execution inside the running application without instrumentation, learns normal behavior, and detects when the application deviates. ADR catches logic flaws, zero-days, and bypassed controls that WAFs and RASPs miss.
Yes. Because Kodem ADR learns the normal execution behavior of every package and function in your application, it surfaces deviations in real time without requiring a CVE or signature. When a previously unknown vulnerability is exploited, the resulting function call pattern looks abnormal to Kodem and triggers detection.
Kodem ADR does not. It deploys as an out-of-band sensor that observes runtime execution without modifying application code, requiring restarts, or adding latency to user requests. This is the operational difference between ADR and RASP, which requires in-app instrumentation.
Exploit Trigger Defense is the detection methodology that powers Kodem ADR. It identifies the initial function call that launches an exploit path, the moment a vulnerable function is invoked with attacker-controlled input, rather than waiting for a downstream symptom like an outbound connection or a log anomaly. This lets Kodem stop attacks at their first action inside the application.
Kodem ADR runs across cloud-native environments including Kubernetes, container, virtual machine, and hypervisor workloads. It also operates in air-gapped environments. The external analyzer plus in-host sensor architecture covers monoliths, microservices, and containers without performance impact on end users.
Legacy tools watch network traffic, OS behavior, or rule-defined inputs. Kodem ADR watches function-level execution inside the application itself. It detects exploits at the first malicious action, not after damage is done. It does this without code instrumentation, application restarts, or performance overhead, and it correlates exploit signals to the exact line of code causing the issue.
