Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for security monitoring. In one aspect, a device includes an integrated processing unit, including a user system and an auditor system. The user system includes a first processor and a first computer storage medium. The auditor system includes a second processor that is isolated from the first processor and a second computer storage medium that is isolated from the first computer storage medium. The second computer storage medium stores instructions that cause the second processor to load auditing data in isolation from the user system, monitor processes on the user system, determine from the auditing data that one of the processes is an unauthorized process, and perform one or more security processes on the unauthorized process.
