runtime protection
About this tag
Runtime protection refers to security measures that monitor and defend applications, cloud workloads, and AI agents during execution, rather than only at build or deploy time. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover runtime security for Azure workloads via platforms like Upwind, which provides real-time visibility and prevention for cloud-native environments. Another topic is Microsoft's webhook-based execution guardrails for AI agents, enabling runtime inspection of tool invocations. Additionally, Waratek Locker offers Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) for Java applications on Azure, embedding security policies directly into the JVM. These threads highlight the shift toward proactive, real-time defenses in enterprise IT, with a focus on Microsoft Azure and cloud security.
Microsoft said on July 1, 2026, that Frost & Sullivan named it a leader in the 2026 Frost Radar for Cloud/Application Runtime Security, citing Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Defender XDR integration, and the company’s scale across cloud, endpoint, identity, data, and application security. The...
Upwind’s move into Azure — now available through the Microsoft Marketplace and positioned as a transactable, co‑sell-ready runtime security platform for Azure workloads — marks a significant signal in the CNAPP market: runtime visibility and prevention are shifting from niche add‑ons into...
Microsoft’s move to inspect and control AI agent actions at runtime marks a practical shift in enterprise defensive strategy: instead of relying solely on build‑time policies, organizations can now interpose a real time gate that inspects every planned tool invocation and decides — in...
Waratek’s Locker promised a practical "bring your own security" (BYOS) approach for Java applications on Microsoft Azure — a lightweight, JVM‑embedded container that applies Runtime Application Self‑Protection (RASP) policies without touching application code — and while the idea remains...
