A trusted graphic displayed in a reserved area provides continuous, visible feedback of session integrity. Protect local devices against unauthorized users. Authorized users may control access to local devices. In many cases, misuse by authorized users is the main source of security violations. Trusted Solaris software helps stop these violations by enabling administrators to implement a security policy that controls the access and handling of information, including system administration, operation, and monitoring tools.
Every organization has at least two levels of information.
The first is available to everyone, while the second is available only to authorized users. A MAC label access control feature allows information to be processed at multiple sensitivity levels. MAC hierarchical and compartmentalized labels correspond to the sensitivity of information that must be kept separate, even when it is stored on a single system. Because information labeling happens automatically, MAC is mandatory. Ordinary users cannot change labels unless the system administrator gives them special authorization.
