AppArmour

As an open source offering from Novell, AppArmor Linux application security has no licensing fees. AppArmor is included in the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 products and in openSUSE.

Software flaws in complex applications open the way for attackers to compromise systems that host critical enterprise data. Perimeter security solves only part of the problem because global business requirements mandate open network access for mobile employees, customers and partners. Besides, firewalls do little to protect against the growing number of threats originating internally. IT organizations do much to keep their machines patched to protect against the latest threats, but this reactive security strategy still leaves businesses dangerously exposed. With experienced hackers becoming faster at exploiting vulnerabilities (zero-day attacks are increasingly common), businesses often have little or no time to download, test and apply patches to their systems.

Novell AppArmor is the most effective and easy-to-use Linux network application security system on the market. Novell AppArmor provides enterprise-class, host-intrusion prevention and protects the operating system and applications from the harmful side effects of internal or external attacks, malicious applications and viruses. As a result, businesses can protect mission-critical data, reduce system administration costs and ensure compliance with government regulations.
