Tresys Technology Announces the Release of the SELinux Policy IDE Version 1.2

Columbia, Maryland–August 21, 2007 – Tresys Technology, the leading innovator and open source contributor of technologies that make secure Linux easier to use, has released version 1.2 of SLIDE - an integrated development environment (IDE) for Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) policy developers and integrators. Tresys SLIDE is a free, open source project designed for use with Reference Policy, another open source project by Tresys that has become the standard for SELinux security policy development.

The new version of SLIDE provides the following new features:

• Enhancements to the development interface including a new graphical editor for the “corenetwork” module. This facilitates more efficient and effective network configuration.

• Completion and hovering support for Reference Policy macros, similar to the capabilities provided for Reference Policy interfaces. This ensures easier access to information required to develop accurate and concise policy.

• Supports the newest version of SETools (version 3.3) thereby leveraging the latest features of the SETools open source project while ensuring continued tool integration.

The SLIDE project is just one of several Tresys-developed open source technologies for SELinux. For more information on SLIDE and other Tresys open source SELinux technologies, visit oss.tresys.com.
