What is Solaris Process Rights Management?
Solaris Process Rights Management, introduced in the Solaris 10 Operating System, gives system administrators the ability to limit and selectively enable applications to gain access to just enough system resources to perform their functions. This capability dramatically reduces the possibility of attack from a poorly written application, by eliminating inappropriate access to the system. Even if hackers gain access to an application’s server, they are unable to increase operating privileges, thus limiting the opportunity to inject malicious code or otherwise damage data.
