With the support of the open-source community and a strict privilege system embedded in its architecture, Linux has security built into its design. That being said, gone are the days when Linux system administrators could get away with subpar security practices. Cybercriminals have come to view Linux as a viable attack target due to its growing popularity, the valuable devices it powers worldwide, and an array of dangerous new Linux malware variants that have emerged in recent years.
