Dear all, there are some exciting news: This year we will extend our Essentials program by a new certificate covering IT security. The new certificate will be added next to Linux Essentials. While it is not specific to Linux, it will cover common knowledge and free/open technologies/tools. Like Linux Essentials, it addresses the common user who gained a significant portion of common knowledge, comparable to a student who visited a course on the subject, but not to an extend of a professional working in the field. This exam's realm should be considered 'Digital Self-Defense', it shall cover the knowledge to understand common threats and how to mitigate them.
There is a draft for a potential set of objectives in our wiki: https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/SecurityEssentials_Objectives_V1.0 A lot of the draft's content was contributed by LPI's Academic Advisory Committee. I'd like to invite you all to review this draft and comment on it in this threat. We will for sure see a lot of changes, my special concern is how we can reduce the portion of theory on the exam in the favor of more practical tasks, but please share all your thoughts and suggestions. As usual, please try to discuss on the list as much as possible, but if you'd like to reach out personally, don't hesitate to do so.
