Abstract

A computer security system with enhanced whitelisting includes user interfaces that accept user inputs to create and modify a set of rules that define which programs are allowed to execute on one or more target systems. Upon an attempt to run a program, the set of rules are used to determine if the program is allowed to run. If any rule indicates that the program is allowed to run, the program is run. Otherwise, a user interface is presented to either block execution of the program or to create a new rule that would allow execution of the program this time and in the future.
