Red Hat Certified Security Specialist (RHCSS) is a security certification that proves advanced skills in using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SELinux, and Red Hat Directory Server to meet the security requirements of today's enterprise environment. Current RHCEs will obtain RHCSS certification upon successfully passing all three Expertise Exams: These courses build on the security skills covered in the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) program, which is a prerequisite. All upper-level courses are all peer level, meaning each can be taken by someone with RHCE or equivalent skills. Any order is fine. Each course in Red Hat's security curriculum is followed by an Expertise Exam on the fifth day. Expertise Exams may be taken immediately following the corresponding course or at any other time. The exams are performance-based and test skills of the job role competencies covered in the prior four days of hands-on training. Passing an Expertise Exam earns the candidate aCertificate of Expertise to his or her RHCE credential for a specific security skillset. Expertise Exams vary in length from 4 to 8 hours depending on the course. Official notification of PASS or DID NOT PASS is sent via email within 5 US business days of the Expertise Exam. Exams cost $749 on their own or $549 when purchased together with the corresponding class scheduled in same week.

Beyond the core RHCSS courses, Red Hat also offers RHS435 Red Hat Enterprise Certificate Management.

In the future, Red Hat may introduce or extend other security-related tools, and support these with additional higher-level Certificates of Expertise to RHCSS similar to the Identity Management Certificate of Expertise. Other Red Hat security courses include RHS342 Developing Red Hat Firewall Solutions. This course provides intensive hands-on training for senior level system administrators, but is not tied to the RHCSS track.Red Hat Certified Security Specialist (RHCSS)
