[aklug] Re: Network Security Certifications

I think some of the certifications are asking for specific information. Things like Linux commands. They also cover things like how to use nmap. I'm sure the stuff you mentioned are covered. I'm also going to assume that more then typical server security is going to be covered. Maybe not in this class but certifications like the CISSP.

I'll post something tonight. Should be interesting. I'm taking this a Charter College.

what's the class title, vendor, etc.
usually network security is platform neutral.
disabling unnecessary network services is valid for novell, linux, unix
variants, windows, cray, vms, mvs, etc.

Subject: [aklug] Network Security Certifications

I start a network security class tonight. Not sure what it covers. The
instructor mentioned a few certifications leading up to CISSP. It was
suggested that I look into them. Apparently there are a few Linux
questions on the certifications. I was also told that I can use my LPI
certification to cover some of the certs. Which means I don't have to
take them.

Where does Linux fit in the network security world?
What devices use Linux? ( heard about some firewall solution )
