Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: determining, for each non-security component of an application, (a) types of interactions the non-security component has with security components of the application for a plurality of requests and a total number for each interaction type; determining, based on (a) and an expected number of incoming requests to the application: (b) types of requests to the security components from the non-security components and types of interactions with the security components involving the non-security components; and (c) for each type of request to the security components from the non-security components, a total number of requests to the security components involving the non-security components and a total number of interactions with the security components involving the non-security components; determining, for each security component, a capacity required to process each type of request involving the non-security components and a capacity required to perform each type of interaction involving the non-security components; and changing the capacities of the security components to new capacities, wherein the new capacities are based on (a), (c) and the determined capacities.
