The course provides advanced hardening skills for protecting Linux systems, with a focus on service, network and data security. The session will cover security strategies for system access, permission management, firewalls and the use of containers for application isolation. Tools for security monitoring and auditing will be presented, along with encryption techniques for protecting sensitive data.
Access management and authentication; File security and permissions management; Network security, firewalls and VPNs; Hardening of critical services; Hardening of services through containerisation; Security monitoring and logging; Auditing and security compliance (e.g. Lynis, CIS Benchmark and OpenSCAP); Encryption and protection of data at rest (e.g. LUKS) and in transit.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Linux system administration, user management, permissions, and the main commands for configuring networks and services. A basic understanding of cybersecurity and virtualisation is useful.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will be able to implement advanced hardening techniques on Linux systems, strengthen the security of services and networks, protect sensitive data using encryption, monitor suspicious activity, verify compliance using auditing tools, and apply security strategies in containerised and virtualised environments.
