Threat
     - Nation State
     - Logical ('over the wire') access
     - Physical (insider) access
     - Both assume root privilege
Environment
     - Compute servers
     - End nodes
     - Mobile devices
Use Case
     - Protect DoD critical application software and data

    The Need for SPI's Application of Intellectual Property Centric Security

Deliberate targeting of DoD technology is ongoing
Network / OS security is a hard problem
     - Insecure end nodes
     - Patch management problems and zero day exploits
Insider threat and theft continues
Commercial solutions fall short of DoD requirements
