Abstract

A computer-implemented system, method and apparatus for operating a reference monitor simulator is operable to recreate the operations performed by a reference monitor on a computer system. In one configuration, the system defines at least one security rule specifying whether to allow or deny a request to access at least one resource under a given set of circumstances and supplies at least one request to access a resource. The system further applies the at least one security rule in response to the at least one request to access a resource to determine whether to allow or prevent the at least one request.
