Abstract
A technique includes an operating system agent of a computer system monitoring a process to detect whether an integrity of the process has been compromised. The monitoring includes the operating system agent scanning a data structure. The process executes in a user space, and the data structure is part of an operating system kernel space. The technique includes a hardware controller of the computer system listening for a heartbeat that is generated by the operating system agent. The hardware controller takes a corrective action in response to at least one of the hardware controller detecting an interruption of the heartbeat, or the operating system agent communicating to the hardware controller a security alert for the process.
