Mapping security primitives to attacker capabilities
Ubuntu’s security offerings are much more than just a collection of tools: they are an ecosystem of layered defenses, each tuned to address specific threat levels and attacker capabilities. By understanding the unique threats each layer counters, you can make informed choices about which defenses are most important for your environment.
In this whitepaper, we will journey through the landscape of the security primitives and solutions that make up Ubuntu’s security in depth strategy, all through the lens of computational security:
- Swift vulnerability response: Address known threats with Extended Security Maintenance, ensuring rapid patching and protection
- Zero-day threat containment with AppArmor: Restrict applications to the bare minimum access they need, stopping attackers in their tracks
- Regulated industry standards: FIPS-compliant cryptography and CIS benchmarks deliver system hardening tailored to your needs
- Boot-level protection: Secure Boot enforces verified code execution, while Full Disk Encryption (FDE) protects sensitive data at rest
- Next-gen isolation with confidential VMs: Technologies like Intel TDX and AMD SEV SNP create CPU-level isolation, safeguarding data even against hypervisor compromise or insider threats
Why read this whitepaper?
Whether you’re managing a small team or securing critical infrastructure, Ubuntu’s defense in depth gives you the resilience and confidence to meet both current and future threats head-on.
Uncover the details of Ubuntu’s security solutions and learn how to tailor them to your environment. Equip yourself with the tools to protect your data and stay one step ahead of evolving threats.
