Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual and Cloud
Course Description
Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud (RH415) helps you master the art of securing Red Hat Enterprise Linux wherever it lives – whether that’s on physical servers, virtual machines, or up in the cloud. You’ll dive into practical tools and smart strategies for staying compliant, managing risks, and fixing security issues automatically.
Throughout the course, you’ll get hands-on with powerful tools like SELinux, OpenSCAP, SCAP Workbench, Linux Audit, AIDE, USBGuard, PAM, Red Hat Insights, Red Hat Satellite, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. These aren’t just buzzwords – they’re your toolkit for monitoring, securing, and managing systems at massive scale.
We’ve built this course on RHEL 9.2, Ansible Core 2.14, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4, Satellite 6.14, and OpenSCAP 1.3.7. Plus.
