SYSTEM FOR ISOLATED ACCESS AND ANALYSIS OF SUSPICIOUS CODE IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Providing an isolation system that allows analysts to analyze suspicious information in way that aids in preventing any harmful information from spreading to other applications and systems on a network. The isolation systems are physically and/or logically separated from other systems on the network. A plurality of virtual containers, which may be disposable and specific to each analyst, may be utilized to analyze the suspicious information within the isolation systems. Should a virtual container be infected with harmful information it may be discarded a new virtual container may be used to review the suspicious information. A non-native application may be used to transform the format of the suspicious information into a non-native format in order to aid preventing the harmful information from infecting the other systems on the network.
