Abstract
In a system and method for processing computer system events asynchronously for software security operations, a computer memory is configured for a read operation by a computer process. The computer process loads, based on a first event occurring during the read operation, at least one file in the computer memory. At least one thread of the computer process is generated. An execution of the at least one thread of the computer process is delayed based on a second event occurring after the first event. A security operation is performed on the process contemporaneously with the loading of the file in the computer memory and the blocking of the execution of the at least one thread of the computer process. The process is either un-delayed on completion of the previous security operation or other security operations performed on that process.
