1. A method for securing cloud meetings using containers, the method comprising:
registering, by a kernel driver interceptor, for a process notification callback for one or more user applications used for creating or joining web-based meetings;
monitoring, by the kernel driver interceptor on a physical device, to determine when the process notification callback is received for a user application of the one or more user applications;
receiving, by the kernel driver interceptor, the process notification callback and a command line in the callback; and
analyzing, by the kernel driver interceptor, the command line and transmitting the command line to a service that secures the meeting using containers, wherein the securing of the meeting is performed by:
configuring, on a separate physical device, a container for executing the user application in an isolated virtual environment;
transferring, to the container, all resources needed to run the user application in the isolated virtual environment; and
executing the user application in the container;
detecting a malicious attack event in a session of the user application, wherein the session is hosted by a given entity; and
in response to detecting the malicious attack event, denying invites to join a subsequent session of the user application.
