Key Assignment Draft

As is true with all components in any computing environment, security considerations are paramount for operating systems as well. Performing risk assessments and identifying mitigation strategies in advance is a way to ensure that security has been addressed at the operating system level. Virtualized operating systems bring a new set of challenges.

You will also be adding new content related to identifying security risks and potential mitigation strategies.

The project deliverables are the following:

1. Update the Operating Systems Design Document title page with the new date and project name.
