Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for protecting data using a virtual environment, which creates a safe virtual environment that supports the execution of application programs being operated on a computer and which enables important data to be inputted or outputted only within the virtual environment, such that access to the important data is prevented in a general local environment. According to the present invention, data leakage is initially prevented to protect data, and convenience is provided in that a user may use the computer in a general manner while performing desired work.
