Abstract
A system and method to detect and contain threatening executable code by employing a threat monitor, verifier, endpoint agent, and a security information and event management module. The system and method are a departure from and an improvement over conventional systems in that, among other things, the system and method allow an investigator to determine whether a threat has persisted or executed, and allow that information to be communicated back to the detection mechanism (or other system) such that a user (or machine) may make a decision to take further action such as to contain the threat quickly and/or permit the system to do so automatically.
