Abstract

A computer security system and method. An event detector detects events occurring in a monitored computer system, such as processor events, input events, and output events. A permission category list lists permission categories for events that might occur in the monitored computer system, and a decision maker determines action to be taken in response to detection of the event, based on the permission category of the event. The event detector might include an event list listing events to be detected, and the decision maker might include an action list listing action to be taken in response to different permission categories. If an event is not on the permission category list, the decision maker prohibits performance of the event, or alternatively issues a prompt to the computer user to specify action to be taken.
