Dynamically excluding sensitive information from system snapshot

A computer program product for generating a secured system snapshot of a system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions, wherein the computer readable storage medium comprises instructions to:

• receive an instruction to generate a system snapshot, wherein the system snapshot captures data from a computer executable object loaded in a memory;
• access metadata that is associated with the computer executable object from a mapping list;
• capture the secured system snapshot by:
• determining sensitivity of the computer executable object by comparing the metadata with a predetermined criteria;
• and
• excluding a capture of sensitive data from the computer executable object into the system snapshot in response to the metadata of the computer executable object matching the predetermined criteria;
• and
• store the secured system snapshot.

A system for generating a secured system snapshot of a system, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled with the memory, the processor configured to execute an operating system that is configured to:
• receive an instruction to generate a system snapshot, wherein the system snapshot captures data from a computer executable object loaded in a memory;
• access metadata that is associated with the computer executable object from a mapping list;
• capture the secured system snapshot, wherein capturing comprises:
• determining sensitivity of the computer executable object by comparing the metadata with a predetermined criteria;
• and
• excluding a capture of sensitive data from the computer executable object into the system snapshot in response to the metadata of the computer executable object matching the predetermined criteria;
• and
• store the secured system snapshot.
