Protect what runs. In real time.
Runtime Protection
Continuously monitor and protect workloads, containers, and applications at runtime. Detect malicious behavior, block attacks, and stop threats before they spread.
The problem
Static controls can’t stop runtime attacks.
Workloads change constantly. Containers spin up, processes execute, and attackers exploit gaps that only appear while systems are running. Without runtime visibility and protection, malicious activity can move quickly and go unnoticed.
One operating picture
Continuous runtime defense. Instant response.
MadStack Runtime Protection watches live workloads and containers so threats are detected, blocked, and contained as they happen.
Detect runtime threats
Identify malicious processes, suspicious system calls, file changes, and anomalous behavior as workloads run.
Block attacks in real time
Stop exploit attempts, unauthorized process execution, and lateral movement before damage spreads.
Contain and respond
Isolate compromised workloads, kill malicious processes, and guide rapid remediation with clear context.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
It continuously monitors running workloads, containers, and applications to detect malicious processes, exploit attempts, unauthorized changes, and anomalous behavior in real time.
Vulnerability scanning finds known weaknesses before or during deployment. Runtime Protection defends live systems against attacks and suspicious behavior that only appear while workloads are running.
Yes. You can configure policies to automatically kill malicious processes, isolate compromised workloads, and trigger response workflows when critical threats are detected.
