Abstract
In order to enable potentially conflicting applications to execute on the same computer, application programming interface (API) calls are intercepted when an application attempts to access a computer system's resources. During a learning mode of operation, a security monitor stores data in a security monitor database identifying which applications are allowed to access the computer system resources. At runtime of an application, the security monitor operates in an enforcement mode and utilizes the contents of the security monitor database to determine if an application is permitted to access system resources. If data associated with the application is located in the security monitor database, the application is allowed to access computer system resources, if data associated with the application is not located in the security monitor database, the application is not allowed to access computer system resources.
