Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for authorizing access to operating system resources using security policies managed by a service external to the operating system. An operating system may be provisioned with a kernel-mode component that intercepts system calls from applications, determines a request context for the system call, and sends a request to an external policy management service. The policy management service may be used to perform a policy evaluation to determine whether to grant access to operating system resources. In some cases, policies are cached by the operating system. In various examples, the operating system and policy management service are both hosted on resources managed by a computing resource service provider on behalf of a customer to run mainframe workloads.
