Certificate usage data is generated which identifies which processes or applications use which specific certificates. A certificate-specific usage model is generated based upon the certificate usage data and is used to detect anomalous usage of a certificate, by an application or process that has not previously used the certificate to authenticate itself to the computing system.

Enhancing security using anomaly detection

A set of high level test logic is configured to include a set of insertion points. The high-level test logic can be controlled to insert test conditions into a data center configuration. It can also be configured to execute remediation actions that are to be taken, and validation actions to be performed in order to determine whether the remediation action works against the test conditions. Different instances of the high-level test logic can be configured for different environments and different test conditions.
