First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for creating a restricted zone within an operating system, the system comprising:
- a communication module to receive from a user with administrative authority a request to associate the restricted zone with one or more software applications or processes and to receive a request from a user to access the application;
a processing module to determine whether the application or the process is within the restricted zone; and
a monitoring module to monitor and to selectively allow access to the application or the process based on the determination.
