Symantec Drive Encryption for Linux runs on these platforms: Some indications of how things are changing:Īnd of course Linux users are vulnerable to the same platform-independent threats as other users: phishing, business email compromise, social engineering, SIM-swapping, typo-squatting.The article will be updated as additional platforms or other system requirements are tested and added for Symantec Drive Encryption for Linux.
Practices that have been sufficient for decades may be sufficient no longer. And libraries (such as the SSL library) used on many/all platforms.Īdd to that the growth of the Linux desktop population, and use of Linux in servers and IoT devices, and Linux exploits and malware become more valuable. And with cross-platform apps such as those running on Electron or Docker, and Python apps. Programs such as chkrootkit and rkhunter are full of signatures of Linux-specific malware.Īnd now Linux desktop users are using the same browsers etc as the Windows people are, so threats there are more likely to exist on Linux too.
