Aptori Safe Mode – Active Runtime Monitoring for GRC

Description:
Aptori Safe Mode introduces non-intrusive, active runtime monitoring that continuously assesses application behavior in production to surface real-world risks relevant to Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Unlike traditional passive observability tools that only log user activity, Safe Mode actively explores APIs and runtime configurations—without altering state or disrupting production—to detect hidden vulnerabilities, undocumented APIs, misconfigurations, and release drift.

Safe Mode helps organizations validate access controls, verify runtime policies, and detect GRC-related weaknesses in real time, making it an essential capability for modern, cloud-native environments.

Key Benefits:

• Detects undocumented APIs and shadow interfaces
• Validates runtime access control without modifying data
• Identifies authentication and configuration errors across services
• Detects release drift between intended policies and actual behavior

GRC Coverage:

• 🛠 Governance – Understand the real operational state of your APIs and services
• ⚠️ Risk – Proactively surface exploitable misconfigurations and drift
• 📜 Compliance – Continuously validate controls for PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and more

Where to Find It:
Safe Mode can be enabled within the Aptori platform under Scan Configuration → Runtime Modes → Safe Mode. It is designed to integrate into live environments with zero production impact.

Who Can Use It:
Available to all users with permissions to configure runtime scans. Particularly valuable for compliance, security, and DevOps teams responsible for audit readiness and live risk posture.
