Abstract: A networked computer system for automated substitution process with reserved connection capabilities. The networked computer system includes a profiler component that collects information about a candidate process and generates a configuration file; a checkpoint generator component that instantiates, suspends, and stores information for execution of the candidate process and creates a checkpoint based on the configuration file; and an orchestrator component that receives the checkpoint and a transition configuration to manage and enact a substitution process for the candidate process for counteracting unauthorized use of predetermined data in the network while maintaining all network connections during execution of the substitution process.
