Ubuntu Security Team

The Ubuntu Linux Security Team takes care on the vulnerabilities within the universe repositories packages, and also on the deployment of so-called proactive security technologies and intrusion prevention technologies in a right (user friendly, well tested and developed...) manner.

Goals

• Security updates.
  • We want to make sure that Universe packages are not vulnerable, therefore we review fixes and integrate them into Universe packages.
