Application Detection and Response That Beats Attackers to the Punch

Application detection and response tools monitor running applications for active attacks and respond in real time. Unlike scanners that find flaws before deployment, ADR focuses on production, detecting exploitation as it happens and applying mitigations, so an attacker is stopped during the window before a permanent patch is ready.

Traditional WAFs filter traffic at the network edge using signatures, and RASP instruments the app but can add overhead. ADR works from deep runtime visibility into how the application actually executes, so it detects novel exploits that signature-based tools miss and responds with targeted, context-aware mitigations.

eBPF lets Kodem observe application and system behavior directly in the Linux kernel with very low overhead. That gives ADR a precise, real-time view of what code is executing and how an exploit is unfolding, without requiring changes to the application or heavy instrumentation.

Yes. When Kodem ADR identifies a live exploit, it can automatically generate a corresponding WAF rule to block the attack pattern immediately. That turns a detection into a working mitigation in real time, which closes the gap between when an exploit appears and when a code fix is deployed.

ADR matters most when exploits can reach production faster than your team can patch, which is now the norm. If you run cloud-native or Kubernetes applications and need to survive the window between disclosure and remediation, application detection and response gives you a real-time line of defense at the application layer.
