Abstract
Methods and system for behavioral sandboxing are described. In one example embodiment, a system for behavioral sandboxing can include a network and a computer. The network communicatively coupled to a source of an executable application. The computer communicatively couple to the network and including a behavioral analysis module and a plurality of execution environments. The behavioral analysis module is configured to perform behavioral analysis on the executable application downloaded over the network. The plurality of execution environments including a standard execution environment and a protected execution environment. The behavioral analysis module is configured to evaluate a plurality of behavioral characteristics of the executable application to determine whether the executable application should be executed within the protected execution environment prior to execution of the executable application. The behavioral analysis module also monitors execution of the executable application to determine whether the execution environment can be changed.
