But safeguarding modern Linux systems is complex, and many Linux texts have inadequate or outdated security coverage. Linux Essentials for Cybersecurity is a complete solution.

Their practical approach will help students learn how to protect systems, even if one or more layers are penetrated. First, they'll learn how to install Linux to achieve optimal security upfront, even if they have no Linux experience. Next, they'll master best practices for securely administering accounts, devices, services, processes, data, and networks. Then, they'll master powerful tools and automated scripting techniques for footprinting, penetration testing, threat detection, logging, auditing, software management, and more.
