Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud

System administrators, IT security administrators, IT security engineers, and other professionals responsible for designing, implementing, maintaining, and managing the security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems and ensuring their compliance with the organization's security policies.

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to reduce security risk and to implement, manage, and remediate compliance and security issues in an efficient way. The tools and techniques can be used to ensure that systems are configured and deployed in a way that meets security and compliance needs, that they continue to meet those requirements, and that all existing systems can be audited and remediations and changes consistently applied as those requirements are revised. This flexibility may help the business to efficiently reduce risk of security breaches, which have a high cost in business disruption, brand erosion, loss of customer and shareholder trust, and financial costs for post-incident remediation. In addition, the organization may be able to use the tools in this course to help demonstrate that compliance requirements set by customers, auditors, or other stakeholders have been met.

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to use security technologies included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux to manage security risk and help meet compliance requirements.

After completing this course you  should be able to demonstrate these skills:

• Analyze and remediate system compliance using OpenSCAP and SCAP Workbench, employing and customizing baseline policy content provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
• Monitor security-relevant activity on your systems with the kernel's audit infrastructure.
• Explain and implement advanced SELinux techniques to restrict access by users, processes, and virtual machines.
• Confirm the integrity of files and their permissions with AIDE.
• Prevent unauthorized USB devices from being used with USBGuard.
• Protect data at rest but provide secure automatic decryption at boot using NBDE.
• Proactively identify risks and misconfigurations of systems and remediate them with Red Hat Insights.
• Analyze and remediate compliance at scale with OpenSCAP, Red Hat Insights, Red Hat Satellite, and Red Hat Ansible Tower.

Attendees should meet the following prerequisites:

• Be a Red Hat Certified Engineer RHCE® or demonstrate equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge and experience
