Abstract
A computer-implemented method for protecting a processing environment from malicious incoming network traffic may be provided. The method comprises: in response to receiving incoming network traffic comprising a data packet, performing a packet and traffic analysis of the data packet to determine whether said data packet is non-malicious and malicious, and processing of the data packet in a sandbox environment. Furthermore, the method comprises: in response to detecting that the data packet is non-malicious based on the packet and traffic analysis, releasing the processed data packet from the sandbox environment for further processing in the processing environment, and in response to detecting that the data packet is malicious based on the packet and traffic analysis discarding the data packet.
