Why this program matters

  • Without mastering UFW, your Linux servers remain wide open to common cyberattacks such as port scans and SQL injections.

  • 60 % of Linux security incidents stem from faulty firewall configuration, resulting in an average of 150 000 € in losses per breach for an SME (source: Verizon DBIR).

  • Each month without securing exposes the company to 10 days of downtime and puts its reputation at risk, with 40 % of administrators facing penalties after a major incident.

  • The risk is immediate: an inadequately protected server can fail within hours, compromising years of critical data.

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
