Abstract
In some embodiments, a protected client operates a live introspection engine and an on-demand introspection engine. The live introspection engine detects the occurrence of certain events within a protected virtual machine exposed on the respective client system, and communicates the occurrence to a remote security server. In turn, the server may request a forensic analysis of the event from the client system, by indicating a forensic tool to be executed by the client. Forensic tools may be stored in a central repository accessible to the client. In response to receiving the analysis request, the on-demand introspection engine may retrieve and execute the forensic tool, and communicate a result of the forensic analysis to the security server. The server may use the information to determine whether the respective client is under attack by malicious software or an intruder.
