What You Will Learn
Secure, Command, Protect: Practical Linux Security Training
Most new Information Security Professionals are more familiar with Windows than Linux, yet many of the critical tools used in today's offensive, defensive, ICS, and forensics positions require a strong understanding of Linux. This presents a serious challenge for those without the requisite experience because these systems are frequently utilized in highly exposed environments such as DMZs and the cloud. The irony is that now our information security platforms are creating new security risks. This Linux security course solves the problem by offering numerous hands-on exercises allowing students to quickly develop the Linux skills necessary to become a valuable asset to any Information Security team.
This Linux security training focuses on the fundamental aspects of Linux Administration, covering topics such as configuring a secure Linux system, working with the command line, and managing users and permissions. It also emphasizes the security aspects of these skills, teaching students how to secure their Linux systems and defend against potential attacks. You will learn how a misconfiguration introduces a vulnerability, how to attack that vulnerability and how to mitigate those risks. Upon completing the course, students will have the knowledge and skills required to secure Linux systems, identify potential security threats, and implement appropriate measures to prevent them. With our course, you can gain the experience necessary to become a skilled and confident Linux user, ensuring that you are an asset rather than a liability to your employer.
