Securing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Managing enterprise security is a complex task, and it’s important to have the right tools and skills in place to keep your systems safe. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a reliable and secure platform that can help you meet your security objectives. However, it’s important to note that no operating system is completely secure, and that there are always new threats emerging. That’s why it’s essential to stay up to date on the latest security technologies and practices.

The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux credential can help you showcase your expertise in securing Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. To earn this credential, you’ll need to pass an exam that covers topics such as system hardening, network security, identity management, and encryption. Once you’ve earned the credential, you’ll be able to show employers that you have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Pursuing this credential is a great way to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to enterprise security.

Overview

Manage security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems deployed in bare-metal, virtual, and cloud environments.

The Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH415) course is designed for security administrators and system administrators who need to manage the secure operation of servers running Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, whether deployed on physical hardware, as virtual machines, or as cloud instances.

This course is based on RHEL 9.2, Ansible Core 2.14, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4, Satellite 6.14, and OpenSCAP 1.3.7.

Maintaining security of computing systems is a process of managing risk through the implementation of processes and standards backed by technologies and tools. In this course, you will learn about resources that can be used to help you implement and comply with your security requirements.

Exam & Certification

Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux exam (EX415)

A Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux has demonstrated the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to secure Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® systems and to enforce compliance with security policies.

A Red Hat Certified Specialist in Security: Linux is able to:

  • Configure intrusion detection.
  • Configure encrypted storage.
  • Restrict USB devices.
  • Manage PAM authentication.
  • Configure system auditing.
  • Configure SELinux.
  • Use OpenSCAP and other tools to audit security policy compliance.

Training & Certification Guide

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.

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.
