INSTALLING VIRTUAL MACHINES WITHIN DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION PATHWAYS TO ACCESS PROTECTED RESOURCES

摘要

One or more processors fractionate a computer application into disparate components, and assign two or more of the disparate components to different communication pathways, where the different communication pathways lead to requisite resources needed to execute the disparate components. The processor(s) create a virtual machine that controls access to a particular requisite resource by a particular disparate component, and install the virtual machine within at least one of the different communication pathways to control access to the particular requisite resource by the particular disparate component. The processor(s) transmit a resource retrieval instruction to retrieve the particular requisite resource via the virtual machine and at least one of the different communication pathways, and adjust a quantity of virtual machines between the computer application and the particular requisite resource according to a threat level for the particular disparate component.
