Abstract
A method and apparatus for a surround security system is provided. The surround security system is embodied on a computer readable medium and includes a packet enforcement engine to screen packets to and from the network and a TCP/IP stack, an application enforcement engine to screen packets to and from the TCP/IP stack and applications on the computer system, a file monitor to verify integrity of files on the computer system and a vulnerability scanner to ensure that the computer system complies with a set level of security. The surround security system provides security which protects accesses through the TCP/IP stack for applications, and an operating system of the computer system.
