Abstract
A computer implemented method for monitoring system events and providing real-time response to security threats. System data is collected by monitors in the computing system. The expert system of the present invention compares the data against information in a knowledge base to identify a security threat to a system resource in a form of a system event and an action for mitigating effects of the system event. A determination is made as to whether a threat risk value of the system event is greater than an action risk value of the action for mitigating the system event. If the threat risk value is greater, a determination is made as to whether a trust value set by a user is greater than the action risk value. If the trust value is greater, the expert system executes the action against the security threat.
