11i Security Containment is a set of components that enhances security on the HP-UX 11i

HP-UX 11i Security Containment introduces three core technologies: compartments,

fine-grained privileges, and role-based access control. Together, these three components

provide a highly secure operating environment without requiring applications to be modified.

In addition, HP-UX 11i Security Containment makes several trusted mode security features

available on standard mode HP-UX systems. These features are called the HP-UX Standard

Mode Security Extensions.

With HP-UX 11i Security Containment, the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system provides a highly

secure, easy to maintain, and backwards compatible environment to deploy business

applications.
