AppArmor
AppArmor is a Linux kernel security module that enforces mandatory access control (MAC) policies to restrict programs' capabilities, thereby enhancing system security. By confining applications to predefined profiles, AppArmor limits their access to system resources, mitigating potential threats from both known and unknown vulnerabilities. Integrated into the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.36, AppArmor has been actively supported by Canonical since 2009.
