Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud
The "Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud" (RH415) course is designed for security and system administration personnel who manage the secure operation of computer systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on physical hardware, as virtual machines, or as cloud instances both in private data centers and on public cloud platforms.
Maintaining the security of computing systems is a process of managing risk through the implementation of processes and standards backed by technologies and tools. "Red Hat Security: Linux in Physical, Virtual, and Cloud" (RH415) is designed 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. You will learn about technologies and tools that can be used to help you implement and comply with your security requirements, including the kernel's Audit subsystem, AIDE, SELinux, OpenSCAP and SCAP Workbench, USBGuard, PAM authentication, and Network-Based Device Encryption. You will learn to monitor compliance and to proactively identify, prioritize, and resolve issues by using OpenSCAP, Red Hat Insights, Red Hat Satellite, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. You will have a basic introduction to how Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform automates the deployment of remediation to systems, by using Ansible Playbooks from OpenSCAP or Red Hat Insights.
This course is based on RHEL 9.2, Ansible Core 2.14, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4, Satellite 6.14, and OpenSCAP 1.3.7.

Outcomes
Impact on the organisation
This course is intended to develop the skills that are needed to reduce security risk and to implement, manage, and remediate compliance and security issues in an efficient way at scale. The tools and techniques can help to ensure that systems are configured and deployed in a way that meets security and compliance needs, that they continue to meet those requirements, and that as those requirements are revised, all existing systems can be audited, and remediations and changes consistently applied. This outcome may help the business to efficiently reduce the risk of security breaches, which have a high cost in business disruption, brand erosion, loss of customer and shareholder trust, and financial costs for post-incident remediation. In addition, the organization may be able to use the tools in this course to help demonstrate that the compliance requirements set by customers, auditors, or other stakeholders have been met.
