Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Apparatus and methods provide control of the launching of an application based on data classification relative to one of a plurality of workspaces of a system. The apparatus can include operations, with respect to applications that conduct file access, to force generation of a prompt, prior to the application being launched, to receive a signal corresponding to the file access related to selection of a particular workspace, where the workspace is arranged in a structure to provide security to the plurality of workspaces. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
