Cybercriminals are exploiting security gaps to devastating consequences. With the risks so high OS hardening has increasingly been turned to limit the potential weaknesses that make systems vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Understanding this critical need of the IT community, odix has officially launched its hardened Ubuntu Operating-System based on the leading cybersecurity strengthening methodology on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Utilizing industry best practices and making them accessible to the IT community at large, the hardened Ubuntu and its corresponding hardening score validator are available as a complementary service to provide the most security to the masses.
Importance of CIS hardening
Operational System hardening is the process of securing a system by reducing its attack surface. The hardening process aims to minimize a computer or network’s exposure to threats and, as a result, mitigate possible cyber risks.
The hardening process, which should be reevaluated regularly often involves:
- Removal of unnecessary programs
- Updating OS Service Packs
- Revising Access Control
- Implementing Patches and configuring firewalls
