Abstract
System and methods providing secure workspace sessions is described. In one embodiment a method for providing multiple workspace sessions for securely running applications comprises steps of: initiating a first workspace session on an existing operating system instance running on the computer system, the first workspace session having a first set of privileges for running applications under that session; while the first workspace session remains active, initiating a second workspace session on the existing operating system instance running on the computer system, the second workspace session having a second set of privileges for running applications under the second workplace session; and securing the second workspace session so that applications running under the second workplace session are protected from applications running outside the second workspace session.
