The Gartner consultancy says RASP products constitute a new security approach evident for only the past two years in which security software basically works as an instrumentation of runtime in servers or clients to protect against attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and unauthorized access.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE : Samsung Is your smartphone secure enough?
