Hello Paul,

CYRIN's New Lab - Linux Operating System Fundamentals for Systems Administrators

This new Level One scenario from CYRIN teaches concepts that are fundamental to using and administering a system running the Linux operating system. The lab teaches the basics of the Linux file system and how to navigate it, the use of permissions on files and directories to manage access, command output redirection and pipes, and commands that will help an administrator be more efficient.



Why this is Important

Knowledge of Linux is often essential for IT roles because it powers a significant portion of enterprise web and database servers, cloud infrastructures, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Most servers, containers, and embedded systems run Linux.

The popularity of Linux is due to its enhanced security features, high stability and reliability, customizability, and cost-effectiveness. Learning how to navigate different operating systems such as Linux demonstrates to employers that you can maneuver any operating system to solve a business problem.

Like all our scenarios, this new lab is mapped to the NIST NICE Framework, the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix and appropriate NSA CAE-CD and CAE-CO Knowledge Units.

This new lab is part of the development efforts that keep CYRIN at the forefront with new and innovative ways to train and teach cybersecurity. Inexpensive, easy-to-use and tailored to your schedule, the CYRIN labs are your entry to the world of cyber security. To learn more about our content visit the CYRIN catalog page.
