Server Hardening

(Page WIP)

Server Hardening is the process of preemptively patching any security vulnerabilities that may arise. This is done by a multiplicity of policy adjustments either manually or run through a script. Scripts act as a blanket when it comes to changing policy, its great for changing lots of different areas on different devices quickly. On the other hand, manual server hardening can be tedious, but gives you the scalpel to change device specific policies that you may want to be enacted. Server Hardening itself is a broad category itself as well, ranging from password policy to remote connection policy, to firewall policy. There isn't any "one size fits all" solutions either, you will have to make some changes depending on the current 24pin policy.
