This is the final course in Cloud Academy's 11-part series preparing you for the LPIC1, Linux Server Professional 101 and 102 exams.

With this course, you'll hopefully have everything you need to fly through the exams. But more importantly, to more productively and more profitably make use of the many opportunities Linux provides.

This course will focus on security. There's more than one way to secure your servers and their data.

You can look at it from the perspective of user access, network connectivity, and both file and connection encryption.

We'll learn about securing your local system resources against misuse, maintaining safe and secure network connections, using OpenSSH to encrypt, and thereby secure your remote terminal sessions, and about encrypting individual files so they can be safely sent across insecure channels.
