A method for rendering virtual desktops on an air-gapped endpoint is provided. The method includes rendering a first window presenting a first virtual desktop of a first security zone; rendering a second window presenting a second virtual desktop display of a second security zone, wherein the first security zone and the second security zone are of a plurality of security zones instantiated on the air-gapped endpoint; and controlling, by a hypervisor, display of the first window and the second window on a desktop of the air-gapped endpoint, wherein any application in the first security zone cannot access any application in the second security zone when displayed on the same desktop.

Method for rendering virtual desktops on an air-gapped endpoint

A method and system for controlling access to external networks by an air-gapped endpoint is provided. The method includes providing, on the air-gapped endpoint, a plurality of isolated security zones by instantiating a plurality of corresponding virtual machines using a hypervisor; selecting one security zone of the plurality of isolated security zones; and tunneling a traffic from the selected security zone to a designated network location, wherein the tunneling is through a virtual private network (VPN).

Controlling access to external networks by an air-gapped endpoint

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.

Techniques for binding user identities to appropriate virtual machines with single sign-on

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.

Techniques for seamlessly launching applications in appropriate virtual machines

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.

Unified file system on air-gapped endpoints

A method for performing user experience (UX) functions on an air-gapped endpoint is provided. The method includes monitoring a plurality of security zones, instantiated on the air-gapped endpoint, to detect at least one UX command executed in a first security zone; determining if the detected UX command triggers a UX function effecting a second security zone; determining if the UX function to be triggered maintains compliance with a security policy of the first and second security zones; and executing the UX function across the first and second security zones.

Techniques for improving seamless user experience on air-gapped endpoints

An air-gapped computing system includes at least network card interface; a processing circuitry; and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to: initialize a hypervisor for execution over a primitive OS; create a plurality of isolated security zones by instantiating a plurality of corresponding virtual machines using the hypervisor, wherein each of the plurality of security zones includes a plurality of applications executed over a guest OS; instantiate a networking virtual machine using the hypervisor; control, by the networking virtual machine, access of each application in each of the plurality of security zones to an external network resource; and monitor execution of the guest OS and each application in at least one activated security zone of the plurality of security zones, wherein the monitoring is performed to maintain compliance with a security policy corresponding to each activated security zone being monitored.
