Cloud = Linux: Top 8 Steps to Securing Linux in the Cloud

In this real-training-for-free event, Randy Franklin Smith will delve into the most important things to do for securing Linux-based workloads in the cloud including:

1. root and other local accounts
2. implementing least privilege
3. tying local actions to corporate identities
4. remote admin access
5. network
6. services and daemons
7. patch management
8. logging

In particular, he will examine security issues and strategies shared between on-prem and cloud Linux and highlight important differences. Just one example is, in an on-prem environment you can assume that communication with other components of the overall environment take place on an internal private network. But in the cloud that takes extra effort to accomplish and is often neglected.

BeyondTrust has been enhancing Linux security and integrating with AD for decades. Patrick Schneider will join Randy and briefly show attendees how BeyondTrust’s Linux Cloud Security solutions can increase visibility, provide more granular controls, and better align with modern security guidelines and compliance mandates.
