Claim:
A method for automating controlled computing environment protection, comprising: receiving, at a kiosk from a user computer, user activity information comprising a request for a network service request for content that is subsequently loaded on a browser within the kiosk; monitoring, at the kiosk, a controlled computing environment to process the user activity information; comparing, at the kiosk, the user activity information with abnormal behavior indicia to identify hostile user activity caused by the content and associated with browser control circumvention, wherein browser control circumvention comprises performing various activities restricted by browser control comprising at least one of accessing a blacklisted website, accessing an invalid uniform resource locator, downloading a browser plug-in, and attempting to view a file system; determining, at the kiosk, a uniform resource locator for an illicit computer related to the network service request, wherein the illicit computer is a source of the hostile activity associated with browser control circumvention, wherein the uniform resource locator is added to attack prevention information for a definable time period to protect the controlled computing environment from browser control circumvention; and preventing, at the kiosk, further data communications with the illicit computer based on the attack prevention information.
