Abstract
A dynamic risk management system for operating systems that provides monitoring, detection, assessment, and follow-up action to reduce the risk whenever it rises. The system enables an operating system to protect itself automatically in dynamic environments. The risk management system monitors a diverse set of attributes of the system which determines the security state of the system and is indicative of the risk the system is under. Based on a specification of risk levels for the various attributes and for their combinations, the risk management system determines whether one or more actions are required to alleviate the overall risk to the system.
