This unit will look in detail at the following commercial operating systems: Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003, HP/UX Ili, Solaris 10, Red Hat Linux, IBM MVS, IBM OS400 and OpenVMS and explore how secure they are in a commercial environment. This unit will include hands-on tutorials on most of the operating systems and will also include threat and vulnerability analysis of common configurations. As operating systems provide the environment upon which all application processing is based, knowing their strengths and weaknesses will help in understanding how to make commercial environments more secure.
