Abstract
A security system and method secures and responds to security threats in a computer having a CPU, a Kernel/OS, and software applications. A data collector intercepts a selection of first tier calls between the CPU and Kernel/OS and/or second tier calls between the Kernel/Operating System and the applications, and stores information pertaining thereof. An Analytic Engine maps the stored first and second tier call information to a rulebase containing patterns of security threats, to generate a threat analysis, and then responds to the threat analysis. The Analytic Engine enlarges or contracts the selection of first and second tier calls to increase or decrease specificity of the threat analysis. A Management Module generates user interfaces accessible remotely by a user device, to update the rulebase and configure the collector, the Kernel module, and the Analytic Engine.
