Linux Security Modules (LSM) is a framework allowing the Linux kernel to support, without bias, a variety of computer security models.LSM is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License and is a standard part of the Linux kernel since Linux 2.6.
Most operating systems are not inherently secure, [1] which leaves them open to criminals such as identity thieves and computer hackers. A STIG describes how to minimize network-based attacks and prevent system access when the attacker is interfacing with the system, either physically at the machine or over a network.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux kernel security module that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies, including mandatory access controls (MAC). SELinux is a set of kernel modifications and user-space tools that have been added to various Linux distributions .
Endpoint security management is a software approach that helps to identify and manage the users' computer and data access over a corporate network. [3] This allows the network administrator to restrict the use of sensitive data as well as certain website access to specific users, to maintain, and comply with the organization's policies and standards.
Network access control (NAC) is an approach to computer security that attempts to unify endpoint security technology (such as antivirus, host intrusion prevention, and vulnerability assessment), user or system authentication and network security enforcement. [1] [2]
Windows Routing and Remote Access Service is a feature that can be installed on Windows (mainly server) Operating Systems, and can perform routing functions, NAT, and implement firewall rules. Zentyal (formerly eBox Platform) Active: Ubuntu derivative: x86, x86-64: Open source: Free with paid services available
The security policies transmitted from the central management server also have to be implemented by the host. The host-end part of the distributed firewall does not provide any administrative control for the network administrator to control the implementation of policies. The host allows traffic based on the security rules it has implemented.
A core security feature in these systems is the file system permissions. All files in a typical Unix filesystem have permissions set enabling different access to a file. Unix permissions permit different users access to a file with different privilege (e.g., reading, writing, execution).
