Raven.io is a cloud-native application security company focused on protecting running applications from inside the runtime. Its platform is designed to stop malicious code before it executes, including attacks that do not yet have a published CVE, by observing real application behavior rather than relying only on signatures, network patterns, or perimeter controls.
Raven.io positions its technology around deep visibility into libraries, functions, and execution paths across production environments. The company addresses modern cloud workloads running in Kubernetes clusters, containers, and compute instances, and extends its runtime approach into threat detection, vulnerability prioritization, AI agent oversight, and pre-release policy enforcement.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Raven.io delivers runtime-layer security capabilities that help teams prevent malicious execution, detect abnormal application behavior, investigate incidents with function-level context, prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, govern AI agent activity, and apply runtime-informed controls earlier in the software delivery lifecycle. Its approach is built around visibility into how code actually executes in production, including libraries, call paths, runtime drift, and code provenance.
The platform is built for polyglot environments and supports major languages including Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Scala, Kotlin, Rust, C, and C++. Raven.io supports deployment across Kubernetes, containers, and compute instances through standard workflows such as Helm, and it offers cloud-based and on-prem deployment options. Workflow integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and JIRA for alerting, communication, and remediation handoffs.
Products and Services
- Runtime Prevention: Prevents malicious code and exploit execution inside the application at runtime, including known CVE exploits and CVE-less attacks, without requiring code changes or signature-based rules.
- Runtime ADR: Provides application detection and response with library-level and function-level visibility, runtime drift detection, and developer attribution for faster investigation and remediation.
- Runtime AI-Agents: Discovers approved and shadow AI agents running in production, monitors their real behavior, and can alert on or block unsafe actions based on runtime policy.
- Runtime SCA: Uses runtime reachability and execution context to deprioritize non-executed vulnerabilities and focus remediation on vulnerabilities that are actually exploitable in production.
- Runtime Gatekeeper: Applies runtime intelligence during CI/CD to block risky builds based on predicted execution, exploitability, secrets exposure, malicious packages, and license policy violations.
- Internet Facing Applications: Solution for internet-exposed workloads that reduces the exposure window and helps stop malicious execution in production before damage occurs.
- Database Protection: Protects applications against SQL injection and database abuse by observing query construction and execution inside the application rather than relying on network-edge inspection.
- Application-Aware Cloud Threat Hunting: Gives SOC and AppSec teams application execution context for threat hunting, investigation, and correlation between vulnerabilities, attacks, and actual runtime behavior.
- High-Compliance Environments: Supports regulated environments with enforced runtime controls and audit-ready evidence showing what libraries, functions, and execution paths actually ran in production.
Target Customers
Raven.io targets application security, security engineering, DevSecOps, platform security, and infrastructure security teams that need to protect production applications from inside the runtime rather than relying only on external controls. Its platform is suited to organizations running internet-facing services, database-backed applications, and fast-moving release pipelines with large open-source dependency footprints.
It also addresses SOC and compliance stakeholders that need application-aware threat hunting, runtime evidence, and enforceable controls. Raven.io is a fit for cloud-native software companies and enterprises operating Kubernetes, containerized, VM-based, or hybrid application estates, especially in regulated or high-scrutiny environments such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and enterprise SaaS.
