Hello @tejaspatil12 ,

 

We don't ask to install SElinux, it's upto your call whether to enable it or not. It is basically an Anti Exploit module by Linux.

 

If you intend to use SELinux, make sure to enable it before you proceed with the Cortex XDR agent installation. This ensures that the agent disables any injection-based modules that cause compatibility issues(Due to this the agent operational status changes to Partially Protected). If you later enable SELinux or change its operation mode, you must reinstall the agent to avoid any compatibility issues.
