  • Auto-injection of security protocols
    Patent number: 11501000
    Abstract: A method for automatically enhancing security and fixing security vulnerabilities in the source code of a computer program in an object oriented run time environment includes evaluating the source code file of a monitored computer program. The source code file includes a plurality of class files. Each session includes two or more session segments. A security assessment on each of the plurality of class files is performed to identify one or more potential security issues associated with the plurality of class files. One or more security controls configured to address the identified potential security issues are automatically injected into a source code of one or more class files identified as having potential security issues. The automatically modified source code file of the monitored computer program is deployed to the run-time environment.
