Training Objectives
The objective of the training is to explain Unix security and the focus will be on non-network problems. The training will show the loopholes that are often missed by system administrators and discussions during training will be more on concepts and mechanisms to secure the system. This basic understanding can help system administrators to develop workable computer security policy.
This training also discovers vulnerabilities and the many ways an intruder can manipulate a system. We will discuss on how to defend through proper configuration and present techniques to monitor network activities on a system.
In addition, the training is also intended to assist system administrators in locating and using public domains to improve their system and network security. The course will emphasize on how to install, configure and use the security tools.
The ultimate goal of the training is to give understandings of system and network problems encountered in Unix and how to secure Unix with proper installation, configuration and using effective security tools.
