==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods are provided for implementing automatic runtime execution hardening for software programs undergoing software development. in various embodiments, a computing system performs automatic enforcement profile generation within a software development environment in which source code of a software program is compiled or translated to create an executable software program. automatic enforcement profile generation includes accessing, from a data storage device, an artifact associated with the software program, statically analyzing the artifact (including machine code) associated with the software program without executing the software program, and generating system api usage data based on the analysis. a platform-specific enforcement profile for a secure mode hardening feature is created based on the system api usage data and platform configuration data. when applied to the software program, the platform-specific enforcement profile defines actions (including system calls) that the software program is allowed to perform, while blocking other actions (including other system calls).
