Investigating RASP false positives

Latency, availability, incident response and protection policies.

Production operations1 min readEditorial methods

Blocking a legitimate user requires a dedicated investigation. Connect support records, policy versions and device context without collecting personal secrets.

Evaluation approach

Collect event identifiers, application versions and decision reasons. Link support and technical records while minimizing personal data.

Application example

Investigate post-update blocks through shared version and device characteristics first.

Limits and considerations

One complaint does not prove that an entire control is wrong, and no complaints does not prove there is no problem.

Turn an appeal into a reproducible case

Obtain an event identifier, application version and general device context without unnecessary personal data. Support staff should locate internal evidence without revealing detection details. Do not give a definitive explanation when the evidence is uncertain.

Investigate rule or SDK versions when normal devices reproduce the failure. Keep temporary exceptions narrow and time-limited. Close the case with a recorded cause and fix, not merely a reply to the user.

Checks and decisions

  • Expose decision reasons internally
  • Reproduce on representative devices
  • Apply narrow fixes

After remediation, verify both restored user access and continued control effectiveness.
