Red Hat Security – Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH415)
This course is ideal 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. 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 discover and understand the resources that can be used to help you implement and comply with your security requirements. 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.
Course Objectives
Students that complete this course 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.
Agenda
- Define strategies to manage security on Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers.
- Remediate configuration and security issues with Ansible Playbooks.
- Encrypt data on storage devices with LUKS and use NBDE to manage automatic decryption when servers are booted.
- Protect system from rogue USB device access with USBGuard.
- Manage authentication, authorization, session settings, and password controls by configuring pluggable authentication modules (PAMs).
- Record and inspect system events relevant to security, using the Linux kernel’s audit subsystem and supporting tools.
- Detect and analyze changes to a server’s file systems and their contents using AIDE.
- Improve security and confinement between processes by using SELinux and advanced SELinux techniques and analyses.
- Evaluate and remediate a server’s compliance with security policies by using OpenSCAP.
- Automate and scale your ability to perform OpenSCAP checks and remediate compliance issues using Red Hat Satellite.
- Identify, detect, and correct common issues and security vulnerabilities with Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems by using Red Hat Insights.
- Review the content covered in this course by completing hands-on review exercises.
