Red Hat Enterprise SELinux Policy Administration (RHS429)

Skills required for SELinux policy writing

Security-enhanced Linux® (SELinux) is a powerful, kernel-level security layer that provides fine-grained control over which users and processes may access which resources and execute which programs on a system.

Red Hat® Enterprise SELinux Policy Administration (RHS429) introduces senior system administrators, security administrators, and application programmers to SELinux policy writing. Learn how SELinux works and how to manage, write, compile, and debug an SELinux policy. This class culminates in a major project to analyze, determine the security needs of, and design and implement a set of net-new policies for a service previously unprotected by SELinux.

This course can also help current RHCEs prepare for the Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in SELinux Policy Administration Exam (EX429).
