1. A computing device comprising:

  • one or more hardware processors; and

    a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory comprises one or more software components that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, provide a virtualization software architecture including (i) a virtual machine, (ii) a plurality of hyper-processes and (iii) a hypervisor, whereinthe visual machine to operate in a guest environment and includes a process that is configured to monitor behaviors of data under analysis within the virtual machine,the plurality of hyper-processes to operate in a host environment and isolated from each other within an address space of the memory, the plurality of hyper-processes include a threat protection process to classify the data under analysis as malicious or non-malicious based on the monitored behaviors and a guest monitor process configured to manage execution of the virtual machine and operate with the process to obtain and forward metadata associated with the monitored behaviors to the threat protection process, andthe hypervisor is configure to enforce temporal separation of the plurality of hyper-processes and enable inter-process communications between the plurality of hyper-processes.
