U.K. government and IBM test a secure Linux (News.com)

News.com 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."
