What are the disadvantages of AppArmor?

Drawbacks of AppArmor

AppArmor doesn't have Multi-Level Security (MLS) and Multi-Category Security (MCS). The lack of MCS support makes AppArmor almost ineffective in environments requiring MLS. Another drawback is that the policy loading also takes longer, so the system starts up slower.

Is AppArmor secure?

AppArmor supports HTTP connections using 256-bit SSL encryption. This ensures that data transmitted between you and the AppArmor systems are secure and can't be intercepted.

Which is better SELinux or AppArmor?

Posted by: Tuyen Pham Thanh 2 years, 5 months ago. SELinux controls access based on the labels of the files and processes while AppArmor controls access based on the paths of the program files. While AppArmor is easier in administration, the SELinux system is more secure.

Is AppArmor necessary?

AppArmor is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system, implemented upon the Linux Security Modules (LSM). AppArmor, like most other LSMs, supplements rather than replaces the default Discretionary Access Control (DAC).
