Christoph Schuba's Weblog Security Technologies

Glenn Faden and I put together a presentation and elaborate demonstration system where we show off how the Solaris Security features can be used to really lock down an Oracle Database installation. It is entitled Protecting Applications with Built-In Solaris Security Features (pdf) (Session S312612).

I am co-organizing the (Open)Solaris Security Summit, a free, one day event on November 3, 2009 co-located with the Usenix LISA 2009 conference in the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, MD.  It is an all-day event and free to attend (Register Here). We have a very exciting program lined up with Bill Cheswick from AT&T as our keynote speaker, followed by technical talks on various Solaris security technologies, such as Solaris Trusted Extensions, Encrypted Storage, and a case study how to really lock down networked services with the wealth of Solaris security mechanisms.
