US Patent 10348759 Threat detection and mitigation through run-time introspection and instrumentation

A graph of a plurality of resources in a computing environment is generated, with the graph associating a first resource of the plurality with a second resource of the plurality. Based at least in part on measurements obtained at a point in a test computing environment that corresponds to a point in the computing environment, a graph representing the relationship between the first resource and the second resource is generated. A threat model identifying potential risks to the computing environment is created from the graph.
