No video of the event yet, sorry!

SELinux is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system that enhances a system's security by enforcing policy-based access control rules. For a long time openSUSE and SUSE have relied heavily on AppArmor as default MAC system. With the decision to switch to SELinux as default MAC on SLE 16 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, there are multiple challenges that we have to overcome to integrate SELinux into those distributions.

This session will give an overview on the current state of SELinux in openSUSE and SUSE, the plans for the future and what it means for users.
