Attaining Least Privilege Through Automatic Partitioning of Hybrid Programs
Lead PI:
William Enck
Abstract

This project investigates the hard problem of resilient architectures from the standpoint of enabling new potential for incorporating privilege separation into computing systems. However, privilege separation alone is insufficient to achieve strong security guarantees. It must also include a security policy for separated components without impacting the functional requirements of the system. The general hypothesis of this project is that, legacy computing systems contain emergent properties that allow automatic software partitioning for privilege separation capable of supporting practical least privilege security policies.

Cybersecurity Education for the Next Generation

To understand how cybersecurity academic programs are evolving, and in the process identify both challenges and emerging leading practices, IBM interviewed professors and department heads from 15 programs in six different countries. Study participants were selected from over 200 programs followed by the IBM Cyber Security Innovation initiative.
