Since up to 70% of all hacking activity is
random, every single server on the Internet is at risk and our
custom, and our battle tested Parallels H-Sphere server hardening makes it
very difficult for hackers to crack your servers.
Our custom, multi-layered server hardening
process greatly improves your odds against hackers and other
threats designed to compromise your server or servers
While the base steps below are a sample snapshot
of the hardening process, our entire proprietary process
includes the steps below and much, much more.
Over the past 5 years, we’ve been continually
modifying and improving our hardening process for Parallels H-Sphere so
our clients can sleep at night knowing their servers are safely
secured.
While what we can harden varies by operating
system, here is an example of the measures we take for CentOS,
RedHat Linux:
-
Disable telnet.
-
Limit SSH access to specific IP addresses.
-
Disable direct root login.
-
Remove unnecessary packages / software.
-
Harden the kernel against synflood and basic DOS
attacks.
-
Remove common user access to compilers and
fetching software (wget, fetch, lynx, etc.).
-
Ensure /tmp is in its own partition with noexec,
nosuid.
-
Ensure kernel and software is up to date.
-
Remove unnecessary users and groups.
-
Install chkrootkit, logwatch, rootkithunter, rootcheck, and tripwire.
-
Install a firewall, and port scan detector.
-
For Apache servers, install
mod_security and
configure for use with FrontPage, PHPMyAdmin, Site Studio, and
common Parallels H-Sphere applications.
-
Secure DNS Servers
-
Utilize firewall automation to mitigate brute
force FTP, syn floods, mail bombs, and out-of-network trojan’d
servers from impacting your servers.
It is important to note that security is an
ongoing venture.
Even if you were to take all of the steps listed
above, you would still have a regular routine of review, update,
research, patch, etc.
