Abstract
Various embodiments detect security vulnerabilities and, responsively, can modify an affected program so that even if an exploit runs, the program's integrity can be maintained. In at least some embodiments, a local automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes on a user's local machine to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities through the use of a shield; and, a remote automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes to report perceived vulnerabilities so that one or more shields can be delivered and applied locally to mitigate perceived vulnerabilities.
