[Rick Moen]

WHEN:

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016
7pm-9pm


MAIN PRESENTATION

TOPIC:  Mandatory Access Control and AppArmor 


PRESENTED BY: Sarah Newman
Software Engineer, prgmr.com, Inc.

TOPIC SUMMARY:
Do you have a program that's phoning home when you don't want it to? Are
you afraid you might accidentally make a file public, but can't use file
permissions to hide it? Come learn how mandatory access control can help
with these and other problems. 

In addition to a brief overview of mandatory access control, this
presentation will discuss one particular implementation, AppArmor, in
detail. AppArmor is enabled by default in Ubuntu Linux and SUSE, but can
(in theory) be built and used on any Linux system with a 2.6.36 kernel
or newer.
