Abstract
Examples described herein include receiving a loading request of an executable file from a requester. The executable file may include original content. Examples described herein also include determining an instrumented version of the executable file to provide to the requester based on a security policy, determining an existence of the instrumented version of the executable file on a storage, and providing the instrumented version of the executable file to the requester. The instrumented version may include protective content in addition to the original content of the executable file.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processing resource to:
- receive a loading request of an executable file from a requestor, the executable file comprising original content;
- determine an instrumented version of the executable file to provide to the requestor based on a security policy, wherein the instrumented version of the executable file comprises protective content in addition to the original content of the executable file;
- determine an existence of the instrumented version of the executable file on a storage;
- and
- provide the instrumented version of the executable file to the requestor.
A method comprising:
- receiving a loading request of an executable file, the executable file comprising original content;
- determining an instrumented version of the executable file based on a security policy, wherein the instrumented version comprises protective content in addition to the original content of the executable file;
- querying a reference dataset for an existence of the instrumented version of the executable file;
- and
- providing the instrumented version of the executable file to be loaded.
A computing device comprising:
- a policy engine to set a security policy;
- a runtime engine to
- receive a loading request of an executable file, the executable file comprising original content;
- determine an instrumented version of the executable file based on the security policy, wherein the instrumented version of the executable file comprises protective content in addition to the original content of the executable file;
- determine an existence of the instrumented version of the executable file;
- and
- a loading engine to load the instrumented version of the executable file.
