Unix/Linux Security Training

This page contains courses designed to teach individuals about securing Linux and Unix. Content is obviously dictated by course duration, but a good course will instruct the student about the various threats to the *nix platform and the countermeasures that can be brought to bear to defend against them. In most cases the student would be expected to have a reasonable understanding of *nix and be able to navigate around it.

Please note that this portal identifies all information security courses that are available globally, we do not conduct the training ourselves, though do resell some of the courses from our preferred suppliers.  Feel free to get in touch for advice or if you wish to nominate an instructor lead course that we have not listed - Thanks

This fast-paced, hands-on class will teach you how to secure UNIX and lock down Linux to protect a system from compromise. You'll learn how the attacks work and how to use hard-core hardening to defeat the bulk of them. You'll learn how to take your machines to a state of minimum necessary risk.

This hands-on class teaches you how to tighten all major aspects of the operating system for security, balacing this with with the purpose of the system and the needs of your organization. You'll learn how to tune kernel and operating system parameters, deactivate components, and tighten the components that remain. You'll examine major server applications tightening, including Apache, Sendmail, WU-FTPd, vsftpd, and BIND. Along the way, you'll understand how external and internal attackers use privilege escalation and how you can lessen their odds of gaining root. You'll also learn to apply key security concepts, from defense-in-depth to least privilege to risk evaluation, to determine what actions you should take and in what order of priority.
