  • Patent number: 11601467
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for service provider based advanced threat protection. A service provider network may include one or more network devices. The service provider network may be configured to determine network isolation configuration information for a client device, on a local area network (LAN), associated with a client account. The network isolation configuration information may include an identification of trusted network destination and/or untrusted network destinations for the client device. The service provider network may send the network isolation configuration information to the client device. The service provider network may be configured to authenticate a segregated memory space operating on the client device.

  • Patent number: 11552987
    Abstract: A host computer system may be configured to connect to a network. The host computer system may be configured to implement a workspace and an isolated computing environment. The host computer system may be configured to isolate the isolated computing environment from the workspace using an internal isolation firewall. The internal isolation firewall may be configured to prevent data from being communicated between the isolated computing environment and the workspace, for example, without an explicit user input. The host computer system may be configured to implement one or more mechanisms that prevent malware received by the host computer system from receiving external communications from an external source. The one or more mechanisms may be configured to prevent control of the malware by the external source. The one or more mechanisms may be configured to prevent the malware from establishing a command channel with the external source.

  • Patent number: 11550898
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for an internet isolation system implemented using a browser application. The host computer system may be configured to receive a request to communicate with a first network destination. The host computer system may determine whether the first network destination is trusted or untrusted. The host computer system may instantiate a browser application. The browser application may be configured to, on a condition that the first network destination is determined to be trusted, enable communication with the first network destination via a first browser process executed in a workspace of the host computer system. The browser application may be configured to, on a condition that the first network destination is determined to be untrusted, implement an isolated computing environment using an internal isolation firewall and enable communication with the first destination via a second browser process executed in the isolated computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11374906
    Abstract: A host computer system may be configured to connect to a network. The host computer system may be configured to implement a workspace and an isolated computing environment. The host computer system may be configured to isolate the isolated computing environment from the workspace using an internal isolation firewall. The internal isolation firewall may be configured to prevent data from being communicated between the isolated computing environment and the workspace, for example, without an explicit user input. When malware is received by the isolated computing environment, the internal isolation firewall may be configured to prevent the malware from accessing data on the workspace of the host computer system.

  • Patent number: 11336619
    Abstract: A host computer system may be configured to connect to a network. The host computer system may be configured to implement a workspace, an isolated computing environment, and a host-based firewall. The host computer system may be configured to isolate the isolated computing environment from the workspace using an internal isolation firewall. The internal isolation firewall may be configured to prevent data from being communicated between the isolated computing environment and the workspace, for example, without an explicit user input. The host computer system may be configured to determine, using one or more environmental indicators, a relative location of the host computer system. The processor may be configured to select a firewall policy based on the relative location of the host computer system. The firewall policy may include a configuration to apply to one or more of the internal isolation firewall or the host-based firewall.

  • Patent number: 11240207
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for isolation of communications between a host computer system and one or more untrusted network destinations. An Internet isolation system may include a network, one or more host computer systems, a border firewall, an authorization device, and/or a proxy device. The Internet isolation system may be configured to implement network isolation between one or more untrusted network destinations, the one or more host computer systems, and/or the network. The network isolation may be implemented via one or more of a host-based firewall on each of the one or more host computer systems, the border firewall, the authorization device, the proxy device, an internal isolation firewall on each of the one or more host computer systems, and/or a segregation of a trusted memory space and an untrusted memory space on each of the one or more host computer systems.

  • Patent number: 11184323
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for implementing one or more isolated computing environment via one or more memory spaces. The isolated computing environment may be configured to execute one or more sandboxed applications and/or processes associated with the isolated computing environment. One or more firewalls may be associated with the one or more sandboxed containers. One or more firewalls may be configured to apply a set of criteria (e.g., policies) to each of the applications and/or processes. In examples, the one or more sandbox firewalls may exist for each of the applications and/or processes and may prevent unauthorized communications between the applications and/or processes. In examples, a sandbox firewall may be configured to apply a set of criteria to one or more applications and/or processes associated with the one or more isolated computing environments. The sandbox firewall may be configured to allow authorized communications between the applications and/or processes.

  • Patent number: 11170096
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for providing configurable and customizable internet isolation and security schemes for a mobile device. A mobile device (e.g., a cell phone, smart phone, tablet, Internet of Things (IoT) device, etc.) may include a processor and a memory. The mobile device may be configured to implement a workspace and an isolated computing environment. The workspace may enable operation of a set of applications (e.g., trusted applications) via a memory space (e.g., a trusted memory space). The isolated computing environment may enable operation of a set of one or more applications (e.g., untrusted applications) via a memory space (e.g., an untrusted memory space). The untrusted applications may include, for example, one or more of an Internet browser, an email application, a document editing application, or a social media application. The untrusted applications may communicate with one or more untrusted network destinations via a network.

  • Patent number: 11120125
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for internet isolation and security schemes for a host computer system having an internet isolation system. The internet isolation system may be installed on a laptop computer and/or similar devices at or during the time of manufacture, sale, and/or prior to delivery of the laptop computer. The internet isolation system may be pre-installed with a generic configuration. Upon delivery to a user or enterprise, the internet isolation system may be configured with specific rules tailored to the needs of the user. The configuration may identify which applications or processes should be isolated in the laptop computer using a container and/or virtual machine. The configuration may identify which addresses or sites may or may not be accessed from outside an isolated computing system (e.g., from outside a container or virtual machine). The configuration may configure proxy settings and devices for the isolated computing systems.
