Server Hardening

Whether it’s your IT incumbent or your in-house IT personnel (building you Microsoft or Linux servers, SQL or mySQL databases, Xen or VMware virtualisation platforms), at some point they need to be scoped, built and patched. Patching is the most common and recommended requirements to a carefree network.

However patching and implementing a firewall are only some aspects of IT security. Hardening your servers, firewalls, IT provider’s virtualisation platform and many other aspects of IT are completely separate.

There are four primary areas for Hardening we focus on:
Physical, Operating System, Applications & Database layers.

  • Audit technology
  • Audit operating systems
  • Review Applications
  • Audit Databases
  • Confirm patch levels and patching procedures
  • Recommend hardening options
  • Designing procedures for continued hardening
  • Design and if needed implement live & active monitoring
