Abstract
The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for triggering virtual machine introspection, so as to provide a timely and effective security check triggering mechanism. In the present invention, data that needs to be protected is determined; the data that needs to be protected is monitored; and when it is determined that the data that needs to be protected is modified, virtual machine introspection is triggered. The present invention avoids a performance loss and a security problem that are brought about by regularly starting a virtual machine introspection system to perform a security check, and therefore, the present invention is more applicable.
