보안 위협으로부터 리눅스 시스템 보호하기


오픈 소스 리눅스는 임베디드 시스템 및 장치를 개발하는 개발자 사이에서 인기가 많다. 그러나 배포되는 상호 연결된 임베디드 시스템 장치들의 수가 계속해서 증가하면서 리눅스 소프트웨어의 취약점이 그 어느 때보다 널리 확산되고 있다. 취약점을 식별하고 필요한 업데이트를 수행하여 위협을 완화하는 일은 장치 개발자 및 제조업체가 전부 감당하기 어려운 경우가 많다. 본 백서는 모니터링, 평가, 통보, 치료 등 리눅스 취약점 해결을 위한 검증된 4단계 프로세스에 대해 설명한다. 또한 기업이 취약점을 내부적으로 모니터링하고 수정하는 데 따르는 비용을 따져보고, 배포된 장치 및 시스템을 지속적으로 보호할 때 숙련된 보안팀과의 협업을 선택하는 것이 왜 보다 현명한 선택일 수 있는지 설명한다.
