Systems and methods for the instrumentation, real-time compromise detection, and management of internet connected devices

A method of dynamically protecting a program execution characterized by:

• providing a dynamic protection application for executing on a device to be dynamically protected, the dynamic protection application having the capability to create a protected program in the executing memory of the protected device;
• loading a dynamic library comprising at least one of at least one of a (protected program element(s), protected program module(s), control specifications) within a memory space associated with the dynamic protection application;
• loading an application program to be protected into memory,
• associating the memory space containing the loaded dynamic library with the loaded application program loading, and
• modifying a run time call sequence of the application program to redirect program execution to one or more of the protected program elements/modules within the loaded dynamic library, creating a dynamically protected program loaded in the memory of the device.
