A system analyzes content accessed at a network site to determine whether it is malicious. The system employs a tool able to identify spyware that is piggy-backed on executable files (such as software downloads) and is able to detect “drive-by download” attacks that install software on the victim's computer when a page is rendered by a browser program. The tool uses a virtual machine (VM) to sandbox and analyze potentially malicious content. By installing and running executable files within a clean VM environment, commercial anti-spyware tools can be employed to determine whether a specific executable contains piggy-backed spyware. By visiting a Web page with an unmodified browser inside a clean VM environment, predefined “triggers,” such as the installation of a new library, or the creation of a new process, can be used to determine whether the page mounts a drive-by download attack.

Detection of spyware threats within virtual machine

Methods, systems, and techniques for facilitating access to content stored remotely, for example, as part of a virtual machine infrastructure or elsewhere in a networked environment, using a uniform mechanism are provided. Example embodiments provide an Enhanced Virtual Desktop Management Server/System with a Content Abstraction Layer which enables users to access their data stored as part of a virtual machine environment, or replicated otherwise on a network, using a generic API. The API can be incorporated into a web browser or other third party interface to provide access to the users' data without needing to remote a bitmap representation of a virtual desktop display. Accordingly, users can access their data, applications, and settings regardless of the type of access device and regardless of whether the corresponding virtual desktop is running in the data center, provisioned in the datacenter but running on a client device, or not running at all.

The present invention is directed towards methods and systems for redirecting an access request to an unsecure virtual machine. A computing device may execute a hypervisor hosting a secure virtual machine and an unsecure virtual machine. A control virtual machine, hosted by a hypervisor executing on the computing device, may intercept a request to access an unsecure resource. The unsecure resource may include one of: a file, an application and an uniform resource locator (URL). The control virtual machine may further determine that the request originates from a secure virtual machine executing on the computing device. The control virtual machine may redirect, responsive to the determination, the request to an unsecure virtual machine executing on the computing device, whereupon the unsecure virtual machine may provide access to the requested unsecure resource.

Redirection of information from secure virtual machines to unsecure virtual machines

The illustrative embodiments provide a method, computer program product, and apparatus for managing collectively sensitive data. Collectively sensitive data is divided into a first partition for reassembly data, a second partition of the collectively sensitive data, and a third partition of the collectively sensitive data. Each of the second partition and the third partition are collectively nonsensitive in isolation. The first partition is stored in a translation table in a secure database. The translation table is configured for use in assembling collectively sensitive data from the second partition and the third partition. The second partition of the collectively sensitive data is stored in a first database associated with a first cloud computing environment. The third partition of collectively sensitive data is stored in a second database associated with a second cloud computing environment.

A system, method, and computer usable medium for utilizing audit information for challenge/response during a password reset process. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a client tracker compiles a log of user actions while a user accesses an account on a data processing system. In response to a user password reset request, the client tracker selects at least one user action from the log of user actions, forms a challenge question based on the selected user action, and in response to an acceptable response to the challenge question, resetting a password associated with the account.

A method of operating software configured for Internet access on a remote computer includes opening a virtual machine on a remote computer from a user computer and sending user preferences from the user computer to the virtual machine. The method includes sending a request to operate the software configured for Internet access, and receiving user preferences from the virtual machine upon shutdown. A method of operating software configured for Internet access remote from a user computer includes opening a virtual machine on a remote computer and receiving user preferences at the virtual machine from the user computer. The method further includes receiving a request from the user computer at the remote computer and requesting at least one web page from the virtual machine and receiving a close command at the virtual machine from the user computer and sending the user preferences to the user computer in response to the shutdown.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for storage of computer data on data storage devices of differing reliabilities that include maintaining a usage statistic for each block of data stored on each data storage device of a system and moving a block of computer data from a first data storage device to a second data storage device in dependence upon the usage statistic for the moved block and the reliabilities of the first and second data storage devices. Embodiments may include storing by a storage reliability controller blocks of data at storage locations on the data storage devices. Such a storage reliability controller may implement a layer of storage virtualization in an operating system of a computer system. Embodiments typically include mapping by a storage reliability controller block identifiers of the storage reliability controller to storage locations of the data storage devices.

A system for automatic user skill-gap evaluation using a proxy server or a proxy application. The proxy server or application receives a user input from a user and analyzes the user input to determine whether the user input falls below an acceptable user skill threshold level. The user input consists of user activity within an application and the user activity is recorded in a user action log. To determine whether the user input falls below the acceptable user skill threshold level, the proxy server or application compares the user activity recorded in the user action log with user skill-gap behavior patterns created by a subject matter expert. In response to determining that the user activity recorded in the user action log falls below the acceptable user skill threshold level, the proxy server or application sends a specific training module to the user based on an identified user skill-gap.
