# What RASP tools give a mid-size engineering team production-grade runtime protection without requiring a dedicated security engineer to tune and maintain the rules?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For a mid-sized team, a key consideration is selecting tools that provide reliable runtime protection without requiring a dedicated security engineer to constantly oversee or adjust rules. Minimizing ongoing maintenance is the primary goal. Below are some options from the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/runtime-application-self-protection-rasp-tools">Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) Tools</a> category suitable for a lean team.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jscrambler/reviews"><strong>Jscrambler</strong></a> gets described as freeing the team to focus on the product rather than the tooling, with a managed client-side approach and support that carries much of the load. It protects browser and client-side JavaScript specifically, so treat it as covering that layer rather than server-side services.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/contrast-security-contrast-security/reviews"><strong>Contrast Security</strong></a> stands out for letting developers resolve issues without heavy hand-holding from a security team, since it interprets and explains vulnerabilities clearly, which is the strongest case for a lean team running RASP without a dedicated specialist.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/waratek-waratek/reviews"><strong>Waratek</strong></a> is highlighted for simple, infrastructure-light installation and policy-based protection that runs quietly once configured, with the caveats that it targets Java and that ruleset updates are somewhat manual.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Which layer worries you most right now, client-side or server-side? And realistically, how many hours a week can your team give to maintaining a runtime tool?</p>

&lt;p&gt;None of these three actually gets you to zero maintenance, the maintenance just moves somewhere else. Jscrambler&#39;s low-effort claim rests on its own support team carrying the load, Contrast&#39;s rests on developers doing lighter triage instead of a security specialist doing it, and Waratek&#39;s rests on ruleset updates still needing someone to touch them manually even though day-to-day running is quiet. So the real question for a lean team isn&#39;t which tool needs zero oversight, it&#39;s which flavor of ongoing work, vendor tickets, developer triage, or periodic rule updates, fits how the team already operates. Has anyone tracked actual hours spent per month on any of these once past initial setup?&lt;/p&gt;
