Abstract
Malware uses various techniques to detect a sandbox environment so that malicious code can avoid execution in closely monitored contexts that might otherwise trigger detection and remediation. A security system is dynamically updated to exploit these anti-sandbox techniques, e.g., by causing endpoints to mimic sandbox environments in a manner that discourages malware execution on the endpoint, and by updating sandboxes to alter or hide sandbox detection triggers.
