Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and protecting sensitive data that includes identifying sensitive data and statically tracking sensitive data using data flow analysis across a code base, monitoring flow of the data during application runtime, and responding to vulnerabilities according to a sensitive data characterization of the data. Identifying sensitive data includes processing a semantic description of the data in the application code and characterizing the sensitive data. Monitoring flow of the data includes: identifying and characterizing sensitive data through data usage, updating the characterization for the sensitive data through data usage, and enforcing security measures on the data according to the sensitive data characterization of the data.
