Patent attributes
Methods and systems for security threat detection are disclosed. For example, a virtual machine with a network interface of a plurality of virtual machines includes a plurality of applications including first and second applications. The plurality of applications is associated with a respective plurality of application security modules, including a first and second application security modules associated with the first and second applications. A security policy engine executes on a processor in communication with a network including a network controller. The application security module detects an abnormality with a request to the first application, identifies a source and a mode of the abnormality, and reports the source and the mode to the security policy engine. The security policy engine prevents a further abnormality with the source and/or the mode from affecting the second application and commands the network controller to prevent the source from interacting with the network.
