Harden Red Hat Enterprise Linux against security threats and enforce compliance consistently across your infrastructure.
Develop hands-on skills to secure RHEL systems across physical, virtual, and cloud environments using SELinux, OpenSCAP, Linux Audit, AIDE, PAM, LUKS, NBDE, USBGuard, and Red Hat Insights.
Learn to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, protect systems and data, validate compliance, and automate remediation at scale with Red Hat Satellite and Ansible Automation Platform.
- Why get trained: Develop practical RHEL security skills across hardening, encryption, access control, auditing, compliance, monitoring, and automated remediation
- Why it matters: Enterprise Linux security requires continuous enforcement, monitoring, and remediation to reduce risk and maintain compliance as systems and requirements change
- Who should attend: System administrators, security professionals, compliance practitioners, and automation specialists responsible for securing RHEL environments
Put RHEL security controls into practice to identify weaknesses, protect critical systems and data, enforce security policies, and remediate compliance issues efficiently at scale. HRD Corp Claimable.
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.
