Application Whitelisting Daemon
1 Rule
Fapolicyd (File Access Policy Daemon) implements application whitelisting to decide file access rights. Applications that are known via a reputation source are allowed access while unknown applications are not. The daemon makes use of the kernel's
fanotify
interface to determine file access rights.
