Programme
Linux is being used for large supercomputers and clusters, for cloud and virtualization infrastructure, and for backend storage and database servers. Linux is used for Internet facing services, firewalls, and edge computing. In addition to scalable enterprise infrastructure, Linux is also used in small embedded devices and industrial control systems. Linux end-user distributions are also becoming attractive as desktop environments.
The network connectivity of Linux systems exposes them to hostile and malicious cyber attacks. The CAS LCS teaches students the internals of Linux, how to harden Linux systems, and various types of hacking attacks targeting Linux servers. The CAS LCS completes with a module on Linux forensics in the event of compromise or abuse.
