The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux course is a thorough training program designed for system administrators to secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems. The course delves into various security aspects, including risk management, data protection, automation with Ansible, authentication, system monitoring, and compliance. Participants will learn to define security strategies, manage encryption with LUKS and NBDE, control device access, implement PAM configurations, monitor system events, enforce SELinux policies, and automate compliance checks using OpenSCAP and Red Hat Satellite. The course also covers the use of Red Hat Insights for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities. Completing this course prepares learners for the Red Hat EX415 exam and the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux certification.

Course Prerequisites

To fully benefit from the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux course, participants should meet the following prerequisites:

• Basic Understanding of RHEL: Knowledge of RHEL installation and basic system administration. Familiarity with RHEL 7 or RHEL 8 is beneficial.
• Command-Line Navigation: Skills in navigating Linux filesystems using the command line and using text editors like vi or nano for editing configuration files.
• Network Configuration: Foundational knowledge of network configuration and services management in RHEL.
• Experience Level: Previous experience with Linux system administration equivalent to Red Hat’s RHCSA (Red Hat Certified System Administrator) certification.
