Network Environment Control Scanning Engine

Abstract:

A network environment scanning engine may monitor electronic communications received via an external computing network and by an enterprise computing system. The network environment scanning engine after receipt of an electronic message, analyze the electronic message to identify, by a network environment scanning engine using a machine learning algorithm, executable code for execution by a processor of computing device addressed as a recipient of the message. The network environment scanning engine further analyzes, using a machine-learning based algorithm in a virtual security environment, the executable code to identify whether the executable code comprises one or more environment variables. Based on the analysis of the executable code, the network environment scanning engine either triggers, based on identification of the one or more environment variables and by an electronic messaging system, an alert sent via a communication network or releases the electronic message for delivery to the recipient computing device.
