New non-profit IT center to open with classes on e-mail security and Linux administration.

The Freedom Technology Center, a new non-profit IT training and education facility in Mountain View, California, will open on Saturday, November 22nd, with a free one-day class on e-mail security, "Protecting E-mail Users from Viruses, Spam and Other Threats."

(Disclaimer: Linux Journal editor in chief Don Marti is a cofounder of the Freedom Technology Center.)

The second and third scheduled classes at the center cover the material for the Linux Professional Institute's LPI 101 and LPI 102 certification exams. The LPI 101 class is scheduled for December 1-5, and the LPI 102 class is scheduled for December 8-12.

The instructor for all three classes, Jim Dennis, has conducted Linux training for such firms as Motorola, SGI, Cadence, Wells Fargo, and DTT. He is the co-author of Linux System Administration (New Riders, 2000) and numerous magazine and Web articles. "If you spend one day covering the latest software and filtering approaches, you can really lock out the majority of spam and virus threats", Dennis said. "I cover what works and what doesn't."

The class is intended for full or part-time system administrators who are responsible for the function and security of e-mail for a small company or group.

Whether or not you use an open-source mail server internally, the filtering techniques covered can keep users safe from e-mail attacks, and it is possible to do so without upgrading or reconfiguring the existing mail server or mail clients.

In the LPI classes beginning in December, the topics to be covered include everything from installation and command basics to network administration, security and advanced troubleshooting.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
