Security concerns

The largest security concern is that SEB does not block access to the disk. This means that it is possible to open local files from the disk while running a third party application within SEB. This problem can be minimised in a computer lab.

Some applications, like Excel for instance, has possibilities to browse the internet within the application. This is also not stopped. However Excel can be configured not to have the Data → Import menu item. Other applications can have other ways of browsing the web. This has to be checked before setting up an exam with the wanted application.
