Abstract
A method includes: deploying at least one shadow system in association with each of one or more components of a network environment; periodically recording a state map of each active component of the network environment and a corresponding state map of the shadow system(s) associated therewith; periodically comparing the recorded state map of each active component with the corresponding recorded state map of the shadow system(s) associated therewith; determining whether a deviation exists with respect to the recorded state map of each active component and the corresponding recorded state map of the shadow system(s) associated therewith; determining whether the deviation is greater than a predetermined deviation threshold; and declaring a security breach regarding the active component(s) for which the deviation was determined to be greater than the predetermined deviation threshold. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.
