Abstract: A method and system for method for providing a managed and isolated workspace on a user device are provided. The method creating a secured workspace in the user device, wherein the secured workspace is separated from a host operating system and includes a guest operating system; monitoring activity performed in the secured workspace and host operating system; determining, based on a security policy, if the monitored activity is risky; and causing execution of any determined risky activity in the secured workspace, thereby defending the host operating system from the determined risky activity, wherein the host operating system executes sensitive applications to an organization.

Abstract: A method for performing user experience (UX) functions on an air-gapped endpoint is provided. The method includes monitoring a plurality of virtual machines to detect at least one user request to be executed within a security zone; intercepting the user request and analyzing a level of permission required to complete the user request; determining an appropriate security zone in which to execute the user request, wherein the appropriate security zone has the required level of permission; and executing the user request in the appropriate security zone.

Abstract: A method for binding a user account operable on an air-gapped computer to an appropriate virtual machine (VM), comprising: monitoring a plurality of VMs to determine an associated user account for each of the plurality of VMs, wherein the plurality of VMs are executed over the air-gapped computer, and wherein each of the plurality of VMs is a distinct security zone in the air-gapped computer; determining a current VM from the plurality of VMs to bind an associated user account thereto; and displaying user specific indications on desktop items associated with each user account.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a unified file system on an air-gapped endpoint are provided. The method included monitoring a plurality of security zones, instantiated on the air-gapped endpoint, to intercept at least one file system operation to access files on a first security zone; determining if the detected file system operation triggers a display of the file system dialog window effecting a second security zone; and when the file system dialog window effecting the second security zone, blocking the display of the file system dialog window in the first security zone; and displaying the file system dialog window in the second security zone.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a unified file system on an air-gapped endpoint are provided. The method includes monitoring the first and second security zones instantiated on the virtually air-gapped endpoint to intercept at least one file system operation to access files on the first security zone; determining if the detected file system operation triggers a display of a file system dialog window of the second security zone; and when the file system dialog window of the second security zone is determined to be triggered, preventing the display of a file system dialog window in the first security zone; and displaying the file system dialog window of the second security zone in the second security zone.
