Problem

Statement

Many servers were exposed to potential security threats due to inconsistent configurations and the absence of standardized security practices. These vulnerabilities increased the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches and non-compliance with industry standards.

Solution

Proposed

To address these issues, a comprehensive server hardening strategy was implemented, including:

  • Java Revamp SSH Key-Based Authentication: Replacing password-based logins to enhance secure access.
  • Java Revamp SELinux/AppArmor Configuration: Enforcing security policies at the operating system level.
  • Java Revamp Firewall Implementation: Managing traffic through tools like iptables, firewalld or ufw.
  • Java Revamp Automated Patch Management: Ensuring timely updates using cron jobs or Ansible playbooks.
  • Java Revamp Intrusion Detection Tools: Deploying solutions like AIDE and Fail2Ban to detect and prevent unauthorized activity.
