Abstract
A computer security system with enhanced whitelisting includes administrative interfaces that accept user inputs to create and modify entries in a whitelist that define which programs are allowed to execute on one or more target computer systems. Upon an attempt to run a program, the entries in the whitelist are used to determine if the program is allowed to run. If an entry in the whitelist indicates that the program is allowed to run, the program is run. Otherwise, at a later time, an administrative interface is used to either block future execution of the program or to create an entry in the whitelist that allows execution of a class of programs or only that the program in the future until revoked. The whitelist is for a single target computer or many computers.
