Linux has become the backbone of modern IT infrastructure, powering the majority of web servers, cloud platforms, and even the most popular security tools used by professionals worldwide. For cybersecurity professionals, strong Linux skills are no longer optional-they're essential. Whether your goal is to break into systems as an ethical hacker or defend and secure them against malicious actors, a solid foundation in Linux will be at the core of your career. The cybersecurity field offers two distinct but complementary paths for Linux-focused professionals: offensive security (Red Team) and defensive security (Blue Team). Each path requires deep technical expertise, but they approach security challenges from opposite perspectives. Understanding both paths-their overlapping fundamentals, unique specializations, and career trajectories-is crucial for anyone looking to build a successful career as a Linux Security Engineer.
