SELinux is such an important part of your security posture, and with data breaches becoming more frequent and significant, it is now more important than ever to ensure you have taken every precaution to secure your environment. Unfortunately, SELinux is one of those technologies that strikes fear into the heart of so many, with a large number of people still disabling it to work around issues. In this hands on workshop, we will start from a ground up implementation of an SELinux policy, taking you through its background, why you should be considering it, and how to build up (and debug) a policy from nothing for a custom application of our own creation.
