The IBM® LinuxONE systems are known as being highly securable platforms. But how does this affect running Linux on LinuxONE?

A picture showing a virtual keyhole

After all, Linux is Linux. This is a true statement: Linux on LinuxONE uses the same privilege, authorization, and access control concepts as any other Linux. The same methods for setting up firewalls, enforcing auditing, secure network protocols, disk and file system encryption and so forth are part of any Linux distribution, independent of the platform they are running on. The hardware features of LinuxONE make all the difference.
