Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing application security in a cloud computing or other environment. A plurality of hot-spot configurations define API usages which, for security reasons, are of interest to be monitored at runtime, such as invocations of particular methods that are likely to be used to attempt unauthorized access. Upon a user application being received for deployment to the cloud environment, an application compiler determines, for API usages expressed as method invocations within the source code of the application, one or more hot-spot configurations and associated policies or actions. The application compiler can then inject the user application to provide a security manager that, during runtime, monitors the methods and values invoked, and communicates with one or more security extensions to grant or deny access.
