reports
that the U.K. Cabinet Office and IBM are working together on a secure
open-source environment for public and private sector organizations.
"
The Central Sponsor for Information Assurance (CSIA) said this week
that the initiative had been launched to assure public and private sectors
that Linux could provide security in a complex environment. The design is
based on Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) and IBM Websphere, a mandatory
access control (MAC) application, which gives "need to know" access to
security."
