Understanding Linux Security Issues Amid Rising Cyber Threats

A report from British security firm mi2g last week blasted Linux system administrators for their failure to master the operating system's intricacies. It's important, though, to read between the lines before placing the blame solely on IT. As mi2g itself noted, the often chaotic growth of Linux has resulted in a tangle of procedures and a variety of security upgrade policies that make the administrators' job tougher. . . .. A report from British security firm mi2g last week blasted Linux system administrators for their failure to master the operating system's intricacies. It's important, though, to read between the lines before placing the blame solely on IT. As mi2g itself noted, the often chaotic growth of Linux has resulted in a tangle of procedures and a variety of security upgrade policies that make the administrators' job tougher. That growth has made Linux a more appealing target for hackers. But it will also generate more and better security products, and a deeper IT understanding of Linux security needs, policies, and vulnerabilities. A survey taken at the Computer Security Institute's annual conference calls for the same kind of between-the-lines consideration. Most of the 350 IT executives participating in the survey considered their networks to be more secure today than they were a year ago. Yet the same group reported sharp increases in the numbers of attacks their networks are experiencing. Is there a disconnect at work here? Is the increased sense of security delusional? Or is something else going on? The link for this article located at securitypipeline.com is no longer available. . This analysis uncovers the contradiction surrounding the efficacy of Linux administration security in the face of increasing cyber threats..
