Your operating system – respecting privacy – providing security

openSUSE builds something that puts you in control. Rolling or Stable, you decide. Unlike Windows, you decide which updates get applied when. Unlike most distros, you decide which desktop you want (or none at all), you have tools like YaST to help you configure your machine and control your security and privacy. Secure your system and data from Internet intruders with SUSE Firewall. This security device is activated by default and easy to configure. But you can do even more to protect your system with openSUSE Leap 42.3 because it also includes AppArmor, the most effective and easy-to-use Linux application security system available today. AppArmor proactively protects your operating system and applications from internal or external threats.

In addition to SUSE Firewall and AppArmor, openSUSE Leap 42.3 also includes a special security patch update system. To ensure that the latest security patches are installed on your system, you can choose to perform an online update at the end of this installation procedure (if you did not choose the automatic installation modus at the beginning). And in the future, you will be automatically informed of the availability of important security updates, so you can install them at your convenience.
