Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for providing malicious application detection and prevention for stream computing applications deployed in cloud environments. Static and run-time analyses are performed of the stream computing application and any files associated therewith to create an expected profile of the stream computing application's behavior. The stream computing application is invoked in an execution environment to compare the stream computing application's behavior to the expected profile as the stream computing application runs in the execution environment. The stream computing application is isolated within the cloud computing environment when the stream computing application's behavior deviates significantly from the expected profile. The isolated stream computing application is investigated, wherein the output data that is stored is used for forensic investigation or replayed later if the stream computing application is not harmful.
