'''Immunix''' is a discontinued commercial [[operating system]] that provided host-based [[application security]]. The last release of Immunix's Linux distribution was version 7.3 on November 27, 2003. '''Immunix, Inc.''' was the creator of [[AppArmor]], an application security system.

On May 10, 2005, [[Novell]] acquired Immunix, Inc., a long-time partner with Novell.<ref>{{cite web | title=Novell Acquires Immunix, Delivers Industry's Best Application Security for Linux | url=http://www.novell.com/news/press/novell_acquires_immunix_delivers_industrys_best_application_security_for_linux | date=2005-05-10 | publisher=Novell }}</ref> AppArmor was one of Novell's primary interests, and as a result, it was adopted by the company and renamed Novell AppArmor powered by Immunix.
