Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, systems and methods that protect an application from attacks are provided. In some embodiments, traffic from a communication network is received by an anomaly detection component. The anomaly detection component monitors the received traffic and routes the traffic either to the protected application or to a honeypot, where the honeypot shares all state information with the application. If the received traffic is routed to the honeypot, the honeypot monitors the traffic for an attack. If an attack occurs, the honeypot repairs the protected application (e.g., discarding any state changes incurred from the attack, reverting to previously saved state information, etc.).
