- December 2024 CINLUG Meeting — RHELevant Security Practices LabMoser Consulting, Indianapolis, IN
Central INdiana Linux User Group is ending 2024 with an exciting event — an interactive lab to learn how to secure Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems!
In this lab, you will learn how to implement security best practices to harden RHEL systems. Joshua Loscar will provide a step by step guide to set up a basic lab either online or locally in KVM, covering Ansible basics for automating security configurations. You will then learn how to create a system baseline and talk about how to manage risk with practical examples, as well as cover the tools to apply security frameworks and avoid common misconfigurations. He will also provide recommendations for a green field implementation.
Throughout the lab, you will gain practical skills for securing your systems and tracking changes, starting from security 101 and building up to more advanced topics. This lab is designed to be accessible to anyone, with follow-up courses available for deeper dives into specific topics.
By the end of the lab, you will have a repeatable method for hardening RHEL systems and tracking changes, ensuring that your systems are secure and compliant with industry standards like CIS, DISA STIG, & HIPAA.
CINLUG’s meeting will begin at 18:30 (6:30 PM) EDT on Wednesday, December 4th.
