System for identifying suspicious code embedded in a file in an isolated computing environment

Abstract

Providing an isolation system that allows analysts to analyze suspicious information in way that aids in preventing harmful information from spreading to other applications and systems on a network. A plurality of virtual containers may be used by analysts to analyze suspicious information. The suspicious information may first be checked for signatures or patterns before being analyzed by the analyst or the isolation system. The identified signatures or patterns are then compared with the stored signatures or patterns to determine whether the suspicious information comprises harmful information or not. When the identified signatures or patterns are matched with stored signatures or patterns, the system may determine that the suspicious information comprises harmful information and performs one or more mitigation actions.
