Abstract
A computer security system provides for auto-populating process-connection whitelists using process wildcarding and connection wildcarding. Process wildcarding involves grouping process-connection requests together in a process* group without regard to the presence of distinct process arguments; in contrast, some process-connection requests may be separated both by process and by argument into process●argument groups. The process-connection requests may then be analyzed on a group-by-group basis to determine which processes can be mapped to wildcarded connection in a respective process-connection whitelist.
