Course Description
Overview
This highly technical Enterprise Linux System Administration course focuses on properly securing machines running the Linux operating systems. A broad range of general security techniques such as packet filtering, password policies, and file integrity checking are covered. Advanced security technologies such as Kerberos and SELinux are taught. Special attention is given to securing commonly deployed network services. At the end of the course, students have an excellent understanding of the potential security vulnerabilities -- know how to audit existing machines, and how to securely deploy new network services.Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Predict potential security vulnerabilities
- Audit existing machines
- Recognize the best practices to securely deploy new Linux servers
Audience
- Network Security Administrators
- Security Specialists and Analysts
- Linux System Administrators
Prerequisites
- Students should already be comfortable working in a Linux or Unix environment
- An understanding of network concepts, and the TCP/IP protocol suite is helpful
- Fundamentals such as the Linux filesystem, process management, and how to edit files will not be covered in class
- Successful completion of OSUN-120 Linux Fundamentals, OSUN-225 Enterprise Linux Systems Administration, and OSUN-230 Enterprise Linux Network Services or equivalent knowledge and experience
