Abstract
A computer device performs operations for managing registry access, including monitoring a user process on the computer device. The computing device can determine a set of registry access rules relevant to the user process. The computing device can perform an evaluation of a registry operation requested by the user process using the set of registry access rules. The computing device can determine an action based on the evaluation. The action can include one of blocking the registry operation in relation to a particular key in a registry of the operating system, and enabling access to a particular key in the registry of the operating system to perform the requested registry operation.
