Linux/UNIX System and
Network Security
This Security Bootcamp is a unique hands-on course designed
to give administrators practical experience with obscure and difficult
security tasks in a supportive learning environment. Theoretical
knowledge is given before and after the class so lectures can focus on
the important issues that administrators will face while securing their
network, designing reflexive defenses, protecting users, data and
services, providing incident response and performing rudimentary
forensics.
This bootcamp is a fast-paced course and assumes basic Linux
system & network administration expertise. There is substantial
lecture work with continuous hands-on training.
The class is complemented by our e-learning website and
access to our instructors before and after the class.
