Novell acquires Immunix to enhance SuSe Linux security

Novell has announced that it has acquired Immunix, makers of software known
as AppAmror, which is a host-based security application designed for Linux.
Novell plans to use the technology to beef up the security of its Linux
product, SuSe Linux Enterprise Server 9. The new software will be used to
protect both the Linux operating system and applications from external or
internal attacks, viruses, and malicious applications, and will (according
to Novell) provide proactive security features that will reduce the need for
urgent, reactive patching by stopping attacks before they can impact the
system.
"Businesses understand attacks on their mission-critical applications can
hit their bottom line unexpectedly and with grave results," said Novell
chairman and CEO Jack Messman. "Only Novell AppArmor provides an
enterprise-class security system for Linux that is easy to implement, deploy
and maintain. Novell customers will sleep better at night knowing their
applications are protected."
