UK Cabinet Office partners for Security Enhanced Linux (SC Magazine)

SC Magazine reports that the UK Cabinet Office is working with IBM and others on a mandatory access control (MAC) environment based on Security Enhanced Linux and IBM WebSphere. "The government set out its vision for efficient, customer-centric public services in November 2005 in the document, "Transformational Government: Enabled by Technology." Given that many of these services would need to be delivered through complex information-supply chains, spanning central government, the wider public sector and private and voluntary sector organisations, the challenge lies in how it can be done securely."
