Overview

Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH415) 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5, Red Hat Satellite 6.3, Red Hat Ansible® Engine 2.5, Red Hat Ansible Tower 3.2, and Red Hat Insights.

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.

Audience for this course

System administrators
IT security administrators
IT security engineers
Other professionals responsible for designing, implementing, maintaining, and managing the security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems and ensuring their compliance with the organization's security policies

Objective

Course summary

Manage compliance with OpenSCAP
Enable SELinux on a server from a disabled state, perform basic analysis of the system policy, and mitigate risk with advanced SELinux techniques
Proactively identify and resolve issues with Red Hat Insights
Monitor activity and changes on a server with Linux Audit and AIDE
Protect data from compromise with USBGuard and storage encryption
Manage authentication controls with PAM
Manually apply provided Ansible Playbooks to automate mitigation of security and compliance issues
Scale OpenSCAP and Red Hat Insights management with Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat Ansible Tower

Prerequisites for this course

Be a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®), or demonstrate equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge and experience.

Outcomes

Impact on the organization

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.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

Impact on the individual

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
