Summary:Systems and methods for malware containment on connection is provided. In exemplary embodiments, a malware containment method is described that performs a number of operations. The method involves redirecting network data received over a communication network to a virtual machine. The virtual machine is configured to simulate functionality of a digital device. Furthermore, the method involves analyzing of the redirected network data that including analyzing a response of the virtual machine to processing of the network data within the virtual machine to identify a malware attack. Thereafter, the method involves continuing to redirect the network data for processing by the virtual machine until expiration of a predetermined period of time without detection of malware, or continuing to redirect the network data for processing by the virtual machine beyond the predetermined period of time when malware is detected.
