Methods and systems for process constraint include collecting system call information for a process. It is detected whether the process is idle based on the system call information and then whether the process is repeating using autocorrelation to determine whether the process issues system calls in a periodic fashion. The process is constrained if it is idle or repeating to limit an attack surface presented by the process.
