    CU006 - UNIX Security for Users

    Length: 1 Day

    Description

    This seminar is designed to make all users aware of the UNIX security vulnerabilities and show them how to prevent an unauthorized user from compromising their login account or data. The security features which are provided as part of the operating system are first discussed. Then, some of the ways in which unauthorized people may use to gain access to a UNIX system or another users files and directories are discussed. Next, the ways of preventing unauthorized access are described in detail, along with exact descriptions of each UNIX command and the way it is used. Each attendee will be provided with a self-assessment checklist and sample programs which will allow them to perform a personal audit on their account. The seminar concludes with a discussion of the actions a user should take if they suspect compromise of their login and/or files.
