1. A computer-implemented method of controlling execution of computer-executable commands, the method performed by one or more hardware processors, comprising:

  • intercepting, automatically by a computer-implemented agent process running on a first computer, a command issued from the first computer to execute on a target computer prior to invocation of the command on the target computer;

    retrieving a server profile built for an application running on the target computer that supports the command;

    dynamically constructing a risk enforcement policy at least based on the server profile and change policy;

    determining based on the risk enforcement policy, one or more computer-executable enforcement actions to perform prior to sending the command to the target computer for execution; and

    based on executing of one or more of the computer-executable enforcement actions, transmitting the command to execute on the target computer or preventing the command from executing on the target computer to prevent error,the computer-executable enforcement actions comprising at least detecting a connection to the target computer, mapping a process identifier associated with the connection, mapping a process binary from the process identifier, computing a checksum of the process binary and detecting whether the computed checksum matches a pre-computed checksum associated with a custom shell client,wherein the intercepting comprises capturing by the computer-implemented agent process an application invocation signal, and intercepting user input to the application.
