System Hardening
System Hardening is the process of securing a computer system by reducing its surface of vulnerability. This involves removing unnecessary services, applications, and user accounts, as well as applying security patches and updates. The goal is to minimize potential entry points for attackers, making it harder for them to exploit the system.
Additionally, System Hardening includes configuring system settings to enhance security, such as enabling firewalls and implementing strong password policies. Regular audits and monitoring are also essential to ensure that the system remains secure over time, adapting to new threats as they arise.
