Information security appliance

Network device

Described systems and methods allow protecting a host system, such as a computer system or smartphone, from malware such as viruses, exploits, and rootkits. In some embodiments, a hypervisor executes at the highest processor privilege level and displaces other software to a guest virtual machine (VM). A security application detects the launch of a target process within the guest VM. In response to the launch, the hypervisor instantiates a process VM isolated from the guest VM, and relocates the target process to the process VM. In some embodiments, when the relocated target process attempts to access a resource, such as a file or registry key, an instance of the respective resource is fetched on-demand, from the guest VM to the respective process VM. Executing the target process within an isolated environment helps to contain malware to the respective environment.
