SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING OPENING OF FILES BY VULNERABLE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling opening of computer files by vulnerable applications. An example method includes: detecting a request from a software application to open a computer file on the user computer; determining one or more parameters of the file; determining a file access policy based on the parameters of the file, wherein the file access policy specifies at least access rights of the software application to the resources of the user computer; identifying vulnerabilities of the software application; determining an application launching policy for the software application based at least on the determined vulnerabilities, wherein the application launching policy specifies at least whether opening of the file is permitted or prohibited; and controlling opening of the file on the user computer and accessing of the computer resources by the software application working with the opened file based on the file access policy and application launching policy.
