System for controlling computing process execution by users with elevated access privilege

Abstract:

A system is provided for controlling computing process execution by users with elevated access privilege. In particular, the system may be configured to hook into the process command loop for a computing system within the network environment to monitor the users logged into the system as well as computing processes being executed. The system may further flag the users and processes according to their type. If the system detects a mismatch between the user and the process, the system may automatically suspend the process from being executed. In this way, the system may ensure that processes are executed only by their authorized users.
