A guide to Infrastructure Hardening
Best practices to improve the security posture of your Linux-based infrastructure deployments
This whitepaper reviews a range of steps you can take to harden your infrastructure and make it more secure, from the base operating system to the application layer.
To help organisations meet security requirements such as Cyber Essentials (CE), we have created Ubuntu Pro, a subscription service that brings security and compliance to regular Ubuntu.
The ever-present threats of ransomware and data breaches make it imperative to lock down systems and prevent attackers from gaining a foothold. Hardening a system means reducing its attack surface and implementing defence in depth, such that even if a weakness is found, it doesn’t lead to an entire system compromise.
Learn how to:
- Tighten default settings
- Remove unnecessary components
- Configure logging
- Keep software patched and up-to-date
- Implement operational best practices
- Follow industry standard guidelines
- Use Ubuntu Pro’s automation tooling
