<p>An intrusion detection system collects architectural level events from a Virtual Machine Monitor where the collected events represent operation of a corresponding Virtual Machine. The events are consolidated into features that are compared with features from a known normal operating system. If an amount of any differences between the collected features and the normal features exceeds a threshold value, a compromised Virtual Machine may be indicated. The comparison thresholds are determined by training on normal and abnormal systems and analyzing the collected events with machine learning algorithms to arrive at a model of normal operation.</p>
