Abstract
A security system for a distributed application obtains and, in effect, preserves provisioning information for the purpose of auto-populating whitelists used to protect the distributed application from intrusions. The provisioning information identifies allowable connections on a software-package level. Entries mapping processes to connection destinations are added to a whitelist if a process requesting a connection results from execution of an executable file installed as part of a software package for which the connection was allowed according to the provisioning information.
