<u>Special Guest Presentation</u>
 
  
This month Mick Bauer will present AppArmor. AppArmor proactively protects the operating system and applications from external or internal threats, even zero-day attacks, by enforcing good behavior and preventing even unknown application flaws from being exploited. AppArmor security policies completely define what system resources individual applications can access, and with what privileges.
+
== <u>Location:</u> ==
A number of default policies are included with AppArmor, and using a combination of advanced static analysis and learning-based tools, AppArmor policies for even very complex applications can be deployed successfully in a matter of hours. AppArmor is included with SUSE Linux.
