The Trusted Solaris 7 Operating Environment Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
feature allows organizations, including banks and financial institutions,
to process information at multiple-sensitivity levels. MAC labels
correspond to the sensitivity levels of information, allowing data to be
maintained separately in a single system according to each user's need to
know. Therefore, a bank internal system can be configured using Trusted
Solaris 7 so a bank clerk may view a customer balance while a loan officer
can access only the credit record.
The Trusted Solaris 7 Operating Environment uses the Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) and can be customized to satisfy various security policy
requirements. It offers advanced multithreading and support for symmetric
multiprocessing, giving organizations moving to Web-based computing the
ability to handle an increased number of network transactions. This
environment also supports the Sun line of hardware based on PCI
architecture as well as new transmission mediums, including Sun ATM,
Sun FDDI, Token Ring and Gigabit Ethernet.
Trusted Solaris offers users a trusted operating system with distributed
client-server computing, along with the ease of use, power and system
management available from Sun's scalable line of products. Information can
be shared throughout the entire enterprise with strict security maintained.
Customers can implement a consistent enterprise-wide security policy,
relying on protection within the Trusted Solaris Operating Environment,
including NIS+, Trusted NFS and secure networking. Selected features
can be enabled or disabled to configure a system that meets any site's
security and usability requirements. The Trusted Solaris 7 Operating
Environment supports all UltraSPARC processor-based machines as well
as a wide range of x86 based machines.
