System and method for detecting and protecting against cybersecurity attacks on servers

Abstract

An electronic device for detecting threats within a server including a processor, and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory includes an inspection logic to receive a suspicious object for threat evaluation, and an analyzer logic including at least a first analyzer. The first analyzer, when processed by the processor, generates a virtual environment including a virtual client and a virtual server in communication over a virtualized communication link. The memory also includes a detonator logic configured to trigger the suspicious object. The analyzer logic loads and initializes the suspicious object into the virtual environment and further generates a first score based upon the triggering by the detonator logic that is indicative of a threat posed by the suspicious object. The memory may also include a reporting logic that compares a threat score to at least one threshold and in response may generate at least one remedial action.
