Abstract
The execution of a process within a virtual machine (VM) may be monitored, and when a trigger event occurs, additional monitoring is initiated, including storing behavior data describing the real-time events taking place inside the VM. This behavior data may then be compared to information about the expected behavior of that type of process in order to determine whether malware has compromised the VM. The trigger event may be analyzed in relation to a set of heuristics, and based on the analysis, a data collection process may be initiated wherein the data comprises information about events occurring in the first virtual machine.
