A dynamic protection system can analyze a computer system to determine its vulnerabilities to attack and generate a policy for protecting the computer system based on the identified vulnerabilities. Data received by the computer system can be analyzed to determine if it poses a threat to the system. This can prevent the data from entering the system or host based on a determination that the data poses a threat. Also, the dynamic protection system can receive policy updates to allow it to protect the system more efficiently and effectively. In other words, the dynamic protection system can protect an evolving computer system operating in an environment that is characterized by constantly changing methods of attack. Furthermore, by minimizing a need for manual intervention, attacks can be rapidly and accurately detected with a minimization of false positives, thereby lowering the cost of operation.
