HARDENING

What atsec offers
atsec can train your IT security staff in best practices for Hardening to secure your critical IT resources to protect them against attackers.

Why our services are important to you
Hardening a system typically includes removing non-essential tools, utilities, and services that may introduce vulnerabilities; configuration of the system according to least privilege principles; installing security updates and patches; closing network ports; and applying access controls, for example, limiting access to the ‘root’ account. These measures have to be implemented so that your applications will still be able to function. atsec trainers know the correctable vulnerabilities in typical Windows and UNIX/Linux deployments and are well-qualified to instruct your staff about the principles of hardening and the specifics of integrating and testing hardening measures to safeguard your critical resources.

Professional hardening includes not only the initial measures that are applied, but also the tools and methods to keep the systems in a hardened state when updates are applied or new applications are integrated and the processes to monitor the security state of the systems.
