An approach is provided that receives a set of actual hardware power consumption details and a set of software activity details with all of the details pertaining to the use of a computer system at a first time. Based on the set of software activity details, the approach determines a set of expected hardware power consumption details. The set of actual hardware power consumption details are compared to the set of expected hardware power consumption details. If the comparison identifies variances between the actual and expected data, then a security threat is flagged and threat responses are performed.

Threat detection using hardware physical properties and operating system metrics with AI data mining

An approach is disclosed that receives a request from a first device connected to a first network to connect to a second device connected to a second network. In response to verifying that a connection between the first device and the second device is allowed, the approach operates to establish a secure network communications tunnel between the first device and the second device. The secure network communications tunnel is specific to the first and second devices and the first device is inhibited from accessing other devices that are connected to the second network using the secure network communications tunnel. The secure network communications tunnel is then terminated in response to a detection of a security event.
