Abstract

Techniques are described for detecting anomalous behavior in program execution. In one example, a method includes logging occurrence of one or more key events during execution of a program. Each key event has a corresponding key event data structure associated with the program, and logging includes storing records associated with the key events, wherein each record is based on the key event data structure associated with the key event. The method further includes analyzing the records to determine if a current pattern of key events associated with the program during execution matches an expected pattern of key events and generating a security alert if the current pattern of key events does not match the expected pattern of key events for the program.
