+SELinux is a mandatory access control (MAC) system on Linux which adds
+a fine-grained permission system for access to all system resources such
+as files, devices, networks and inter-process communication.
+
+Icinga 2 provides its own SELinux policy. `icinga2-selinux` is a policy package
+for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and derivatives. The package runs the targeted policy
+which confines Icinga 2 including enabled features and running commands.
