  • System and method for detecting malicious network content using virtual environment components
    Patent number: 11153341
    Abstract: Malicious network content is identified based on the behavior of one or more virtual environment components which process network content in a virtual environment. Network content can be monitored and analyzed using a set of heuristics. The heuristics identify suspicious network content communicated over a network. The suspicious network content can further be analyzed in a virtual environment that includes one or more virtual environment components. Each virtual environment component is configured to mimic live environment components, for example a browser application component or an operating system component. The suspicious network content is replayed in the virtual environment using one or more of the virtual environment components. The virtual environment component behavior is analyzed in view of an expected behavior to identify malicious network content. The malicious network content is then identified and processed.
