System Hardening

Downloadable Customer Datasheet

System Hardening is the process of evaluating a company's security architecture and auditing the configuration of their systems in order to develop and deploy hardening procedures to secure their critical resources. These procedures are customized for each business, updated as threats evolve, and automated for easy deployment and auditing. Hardening systems is a defense strategy to protect against attacks by removing vulnerable and unnecessary services, patching security holes, and securing access controls.

As hackers and hacking tools become more and more sophisticated and ubiquitous, companies need to ensure that their systems are constantly up-to-date to defend against attacks. By securing critical resources, your company can further protect itself against the financial losses associated with system downtime, lost ad revenue, theft of intellectual property, theft of customer information, and negative publicity.

Our comprehensive System Hardening service helps your company accomplish the following:

• Ensure that critical resources have up-to-date patches and are able to defend against known vulnerabilities in order to reduce the possibility of denial-of-service attacks, site outages and performance problems.
• Enable rapid deployment of a secure baseline configuration, faster recovery from a security incident, and easy auditing of a server for unexpected changes.
• Assess the overall security infrastructure to identify weaknesses and provide prioritized recommendations for improving your company's security posture.
• Improve your systems' security as much as possible before any type of security testing is performed.
• Ensure business continuity by preventing viruses and Trojans from spreading to multiple systems.
• Reduce the risks associated with malice and human error.
