Why study this course

This course is designed for security and system administration personnel who manage the secure operation of computer systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on physical hardware, as virtual machines, or as cloud instances both in private data centers and on public cloud platforms.

Maintaining the 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.

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.

What you’ll learn

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:

  • Analyse and remediate system compliance by using OpenSCAP and SCAP Workbench, and using and customising baseline policy content that is 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 unauthorised USB devices from being used with USBGuard.

  • Protect data at rest but provide secure automatic decryption at boot by using Network-Bound Device Encryption (NBDE).

  • Proactively identify risks and misconfigurations of systems and remediate them with Red Hat Insights.

  • Analyse and remediate compliance at scale with OpenSCAP, Red Hat Insights, Red Hat Satellite, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
