Systems and methods may include bus monitoring hardware logic, where that bus monitoring hardware logic may monitor signals on one or more buses of processing unit, such as a central processing unit (CPU). Security logic may associate portions of code with code segregation units, such as links, stacks, and zones. Gating logic in the bus monitoring hardware logic may then enable or disable a monitoring function for a read or write access request based upon a link, stack, or zone identity associated with the piece of code making the read or write access request.
