AppArmor description
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Security/
Linux application security framework
AppArmor is a software that gives you network application security via mandatory
access control for programs, protecting against the exploitation of software
flaws and compromised systems.
AppArmor is an effective and easy-to-use Linux application security system.
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. 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.
