Insight, successful design and the need for a portable operating system are the most likely reasons for the scalability of Linux.

Large amounts of data pass through the internet every day from IoT controls and devices. When it comes to Linux IoT cybersecurity, the level of embedded security should be considered the highest priority.

The ability to use the same Linux source code across multiple applications makes Linux the operating system of choice for the development and integration of Linux and IoT.

Let’s delve into how a few simple decisions by the man who created Linux, Linus Torvolds, changed the course of Linux and its role in the internet of things (IoT).

From its inception in the early 1990s, who would have guessed Linux would become the force to reckon with for operating system choices.

Linux has had a profound effect on DevOps. It has forced the rethinking of processes and procedures due to the combined scalability, portability and source code that is processor independent from a build, compile, test and deploy perspective.

While Linux has long been prevalent in cybersecurity on routers and hardware firewalls, there are new groundbreaking opportunities that have emerged, and many more that are now in their infancy will be emerging over the next several years.

Given that Linux runs on such a wide variety of platforms, you could work on small or large systems, on mainframes or embedded Linux systems. The point is, the same Linux is used to do many different things.

Linux is a virtual tree of opportunity. Take the roots of what Linux is all about, follow the branches of how Linux is used across IT and nurture your career with Linux certifications for future growth and longevity.
