RASP vs VAPT: Breach Prevention & Compliance Breakdown

 

Think RASP is enough? 62% of apps still get breached 

Runtime protection (RASP) is powerful. But here's the uncomfortable truth: it's not complete. 

Major companies like Equifax and Capital One learned this the hard way. 

We analyzed the gap between runtime protection and comprehensive security testing to show you why the smartest security leaders are pairing both.

The $1.4 billion question: Why runtime protection alone isn't enough

Ever wonder why some of the most security-conscious companies still suffer massive breaches? The answer lies in a fundamental misunderstanding of what runtime protection actually protects against.

Reality check: RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection) is like having a world-class bodyguard who only works when you're awake. But what about all the vulnerabilities that exist in your code before the attacker even shows up?

VAPT identifies flaws before apps are released and prevents attacks from happening in the first place.

🛡️ RASP: The bodyguard

Role: Blocks attacks in real-time

Timing: Runtime protection

Strength: Stops known attack patterns

Weakness: Can't fix underlying vulnerabilities

🔍 VAPT: The detective

Role: Finds flaws before deployment

Timing: Pre-deployment testing

Strength: Identifies root causes

Weakness: Doesn't provide runtime protection

 

What's inside this infographic?

  • A side-by-side comparison of RASP vs. VAPT across timing, role, compliance, and cost
  • Real-world breach examples: Equifax ($1.4B) and Capital One (100M records leaked)
  • How VAPT enables prevention, not just protection
  • Why early fixes are 10x cheaper than breach recovery
  • How this pairing helps meet GDPR, OWASP, and PCI DSS compliance mandates

 

Who's this infographic for?

This infographic is built for security-conscious teams navigating compliance, scale, and modern threat landscapes in mobile app development.

Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs): Get a clear view of why runtime protection alone isn't enough and how to align security investments with risk reduction.

Security professionals: Learn the critical differences between detection and prevention, and how to cover the entire attack lifecycle.

Developers and DevOps teams: Understand how integrating VAPT earlier in the pipeline saves time, cost, and headaches down the line.

Compliance and risk managers: See how RASP falls short of regulatory mandates and how VAPT satisfies OWASP, PCI DSS, and GDPR requirements.

Product managers: Learn how VAPT supports faster go-to-market by catching vulnerabilities early, without sacrificing UX or innovation velocity.
