In one example aspect, a computerized method of automatically detecting and blocking at least one attack on an application includes the step of modifying instructions of the application to include at least one sensor. The at least one sensor generates a set of events related to detecting an attack on the application or a computing system implementing the application. The method includes the step of reviewing, from within the application, the set of events generated by the at least one sensor. The method includes the step of detecting a presence of at least one attack on the application based on the review of the set of events. The method includes the step of invoking an attack response action.

Method and system of attack detection and protection in computer systems

In one aspect, computerized method for hardening security of an application includes the step of modifying a set of instructions of an application to include at least one sensor adapted to capture a set of information snapshots from within the application in a running state. The method includes the step of analyzing, from within the application, the set of information snapshots from the at least one sensor. The method includes the step of detecting a presence, a status, and a configuration of a security defense mechanism based on an analysis of the information snapshots; invoking an appropriate hardening action to improve the security defense mechanism of the application.

Method and system of hardening applications against security attacks

Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer program products, for detecting a presence of at least one vulnerability in an application. The method is provided that includes modifying instructions of the application to include at least one sensor that is configurable to generate an event indicator, wherein the event indicator includes at least some data associated with the event; storing the event indicator with other stored event indicators generated by the at least one sensor during the execution of the application; analyzing the stored event indicators; detecting a presence of at least one vulnerability in the application based on the analysis of the stored event indicators; and reporting the presence of at least one vulnerability.
