Securing Linux Policy

Linux is a powerful and customizable operating system that has been the backbone of many businesses for decades.

This policy from TechRepublic Premium provides guidelines for securing Linux on company computers and computers used to conduct company business. It assumes administrative knowledge of Linux servers and/or workstation environments.

From the policy:

DEVELOP TEMPLATES BASED ON SYSTEM/USER ROLES

Security templates (which can be as simple as a list of recommended settings or as complex as system images or policies that can be applied to servers or workstations) should be developed based upon system and user roles. You must establish these roles to proceed.

The download comprises a 12-page PDF and Word document.

Previously priced at $99, this is now available to download for $19. Or free with Premium annual subscription: click here to find out more.
