US 11,636,203 B2 · System for isolated access and analysis of suspicious code in a disposable computing environment

Abstract

Providing an isolation system that allows analysts to analyze suspicious information in a way that aids in preventing harmful information from spreading to other applications and systems on a network. A plurality of virtual containers may be used by analysts to analyze suspicious information. The analyst may set the virtual environment configurations (e.g., applications, programs, settings, etc.) of the virtual container. The analyst may determine how the suspicious information effects the virtual environment configuration and/or use tools to analyze the suspicious information. When harmful information is identified the virtual container may be discarded (e.g., folded up and deleted), and a new virtual container may be provided to the analyst to continue to analyze the suspicious information and/or new suspicious information.

Dependent claims

A system for isolating and analyzing suspicious information in disposable virtual containers, the system comprising:

one or more memory components storing computer-readable code;
and
one or more processing components operatively coupled to the one or more memory components, wherein when executed the computer-readable code is configured to cause the one or more processing devices to:
receive an indication of the suspicious information;
allow an analyst user access to a first disposable virtual container in order to analyze the suspicious information;
allow the analyst user to analyze the suspicious information within the first disposable virtual container;
identify the suspicious information includes harmful information;
discard the first disposable virtual container when the harmful information is identified;
allow the analyst user access to a second disposable virtual container;
and
allow the analyst user to analyze the suspicious information within the second disposable virtual container while bypassing the harmful information when analyzing the suspicious information within the second disposable virtual container in order to allow the analyst user to identify additional harmful information within the suspicious information.
