Q:
How secure is SUSE Linux?



A:
When SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 was certified as compliant with Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3+, it was the highest security certification ever awarded to a Linux operating system. Now, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 is being evaluated for compliance with EAL 4+ security standards, the strongest security certification available. To merit this exceptional rating, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 is developed in a secure environment and provides essential security capabilities such as encryption, security certificate creation and management, user authentication and access control, and firewall and proxy management.
