Abstract: In an approach to predicting software security exploits by monitoring software events, sets of design events are received from a compliance monitor, where the sets of design events are captured by the compliance monitor during execution of a software application. A pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application is detected, where the pattern is a specific sequence of the sets of design events. The pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application is compared to a database of learned patterns using a deep learning model. A security exploit is predicted based on the comparison of the pattern of the sets of design events performed by the software application to the learned patterns.
