Abstract
A method and system are provided for improving threat detection in a computer system by performing an inter-application dependency analysis on events of the computer system. The method includes receiving, by a processor operatively coupled to a memory, a Tracking Description Language (TDL) query including general constraints, a tracking declaration and an output specification, parsing, by the processor, the TDL query using a language parser, executing, by the processor, a tracking analysis based on the parsed TDL query, generating, by the processor, a tracking graph by cleaning a result of the tracking analysis, and outputting, by the processor and via an interface, query results based on the tracking graph.
