SUMMARY:Meet LPI at 20ENISE in León\, Spain
DESCRIPTION:Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is excited to participate in 20ENISE (International Information Security Conference)\, Spain’s benchmark event for cybersecurity\, in León\, Spain\, October 21–23. \nENISE\, organized annually by the Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE)\, will bring together more than 200 exhibiting companies from the cybersecurity sector and a large number of participants from both the industry and the public sector. It will provide companies\, organizations\, and cybersecurity professionals with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and discuss current developments in information security. \nDiscover LPI’s Cybersecurity Certification Options \nLPI will share a booth with Nanfor\, an LPI Training Partner in Spain. Booth visitors can explore LPI’s cybersecurity certification options\, from Security Essentials at the entry level to the three-level LPIC certification program\, including the LPIC-3 Security specialization. \nThey can meet Elzbieta Godlewska\, Global Partnership Development Representative at LPI\, at the shared booth to learn why Linux knowledge matters in cybersecurity\, explore relevant LPI certification paths\, and discuss how LPI can support professional development with internationally recognized vendor-neutral accreditations.  \nLinux in Cybersecurity \nLinux is widely used in servers\, cloud environments\, network services\, containers\, and security tools. Cybersecurity professionals may work with these Linux-based systems as part of their daily work. Understanding Linux can help them manage and secure these environments. \nLinux skills can also support career growth in cybersecurity and IT. 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
