Abstract

A security client can be configured to operate on the one or more computing systems and record all events occurring on the one or more computing systems. The security client can operate as a “security camera” for the computing systems by identifying and retaining data and information that describes and details different events that occur on the computing systems. The security client can be configured to generate event records for the events that are uniquely associated with the process that requested or performed event. Likewise, the security client can be configured to uniquely associate the event records with the specific computing system associated with the event.
