Abstract
User profiles of applications installed in a user environment, which may be compromised by malware, are managed to protect against such malware gaining access to sensitive data that may be contained in the user profiles. The method includes the steps of detecting, by a management agent of a user environment, a launch of an application within the user environment, verifying, by a filter driver, an identity of the application against a stored profile of the application, and responsive to determining that the identity of the application matches the stored profile of the application, importing, by the management agent, an encrypted user profile from a remote storage to local storage, decrypting, by the filter driver, the encrypted user profile, and providing the decrypted user profile to the application.
