Summary


Solaris 11 is serious about security. Its default configuration is to be secure, and allows you to tighten down the box even further with its pre-enabled auditing and available on-disk encryption. The ability to have fully read-only zones is possibly the ultimate secure server, if you don't count resorting to an appliance running purely out of ROM. Oracle has taken its enterprise mentality and applied it to Solaris security with great effectiveness.
