Patent number: 11979334Abstract: A system for initiating web containers and isolating network traffic to web containers is described. The system initiates and uses web containers for associated web-based resources, such as domain addresses owned by a single entity. When a web container for a domain address has not been initiated, the system determines an owner of the domain address and any domain addresses associated with the owner and initiates a web container for the domain address and the associated domains. When a user navigates to the domain addresses associated with the determined owner, the system isolates the network activity to the initiated web container.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Renato Luiz De Freitas Cunha, Ana Paula Appel, Lucas Correia Villa Real, Henrique Von Atzingen Do Amaral
