Does Debian have SELinux?

SELinux support is built into the standard kernels provided by Debian. The core Unix tools support SELinux without any modifications. It is thus relatively easy to enable SELinux.

Is Debian ARM or AMD?

Is AppArmor better than SELinux?

Advantages of AppArmor

This module is far less complex than SELinux, making it easier to set up and manage. The tool works directly with profiles (text files) for access control, and file operations are more straightforward. This feature makes AppArmor more user-friendly than SELinux with its security policies.

Is SELinux compatible with AppArmor?

To summarize, SELinux is a more complex technology that controls more operations on a system and separates containers by default. This level of control is not possible with AppArmor because it lacks MCS. In addition, not having MLS means that AppArmor cannot be used in highly secure environments.

Which is better SELinux or AppArmor?
