About the CISSP Examination
The CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professionals) exam is a six-hour, monitored paper-based exam covering 10 domains of information system security knowledge, each representing a specific area of expertise. The CISSP examination consists of 250 multiple choice questions covering topics such as Access Control Systems, Cryptography, and Security Management Practices, and is administered by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium or (ISC)2. (ISC)2 promotes the CISSP exam as an aid to evaluating personnel performing information security functions.

Red Hat Linux Security Administration (RHA 250)

Learn to implement and administer basic security policies relating to user authentication (including PAM and NIS) and secure network applications using application level access control and kernel level firewalling (ipchains). You will also learn skills to administer SELinux, system monitoring, and implement common encryption protocols (including public key infrastructures).

This is the second of two courses that prepare you for the RHCE Certification Lab Exam. This is a good course for Linux and/or UNIX system administrators who want to build skills at configuring common network security using Red Hat Linux. For a more detailed course outline, go to the Red Hat Web site and look at course RH253. This course is equivalent to the security portion of that course.

In addition to preparation for the RHCE Exam, this course prepares a server system administrator so he/she is ready from a “technical point of view for professional responsibilities in managing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system for common uses.”

As with other Red Hat Academy courses, there is an online component to this course that is an integral part of the learning experience. You will complete the online portions between classes. The rigor of this course involves a commitment of your time and focus.

Required preparation: Must complete at least one RHCE course through PCATT at Honolulu Community College and have RHCT certification to take the RHCE Exam

Recommended preparation: Completion of Red Hat Linux Network Applications (RHA 230) or any combination of equivalent knowledge and/or experience
