Abstract
An automated method and apparatus for creating a security policy for one or more applications is provided. The method includes exercising the features of the one or more applications to generate behavioral data, applying a heuristic to aggregate the behavioral data into a subset of representative actions, and organizing the representative actions according to a structure defined by a template into a security policy for the one or more applications. The security policy may be downloaded to one or more workstations for deployment, and provides a safeguard to protect a computer system against cyber-terrorism.
