Linux Security Training Crash Course provides the participants with an in-depth coverage of Linux security and Unix security issues. Linux security is important because although Linux users are less prone to viruses than some other major operating systems, there are still many security issues facing Linux users and administrators. Industry analysts believe it's important to have a "big picture" view of Linux security to start off. Rather than just saying we need to make a system secure, organizations need to consider what is meant by secure, what risks are associated with any data that's available, and what impact your security measures will have on your users.
