Systems, methods, and computer media for securing software applications are provided herein. By recording path data representing interactions between an application and other components, it can be determined what data an attacker has received by the time malicious activity is detected. During a session with an application, queries made to a dataset by the application can be recorded. After the session is found to be malicious, the session is transferred to a cloned application session in which access to the dataset is blocked. Based on the recorded queries, an alternative dataset for queries made in the cloned application session is generated that includes a subset of the original dataset, thus limiting future queries of the attacker in the cloned application session to data already received before the malicious activity was detected.
