Professionals with Linux and security skills can find opportunities in areas such as cybersecurity\, system administration\, and cloud.  \nLPI’s certification portfolio offers different ways to build these skills. Security Essentials introduces fundamental IT security knowledge\, while the LPIC program develops Linux skills through three professional levels. At the highest level\, LPIC-3 Security focuses on the administration of Linux systems across an enterprise\, with an emphasis on security. \nVisit the LPI and Nanfor booth at 20ENISE to speak with the team and find out which LPI certification is right for you or your team. \n\n20ENISE\nOctober 21–23\, 2026\nLeón Conference and Exhibition Centre and surrounding area\nLeón\, Spain\n\nEvent website: https://www.incibe.es/en/events/enise/20enise
