Security Hardening

Comprehensive security configuration and hardening services to strengthen your systems against attacks and reduce your attack surface.

What is Security Hardening?

Security hardening is the process of securing a system by reducing its attack surface and eliminating potential vulnerabilities. This involves configuring systems to remove unnecessary services, close unused ports, implement access controls, and follow security best practices.

Our security hardening services cover all aspects of your infrastructure:

  • Operating System Hardening: Securing Windows, Linux, and Unix systems by removing unnecessary services, configuring security policies, and implementing access controls.
  • Application Hardening: Configuring web servers, databases, application servers, and other software to minimize security risks.
  • Network Device Hardening: Securing routers, switches, firewalls, and other network infrastructure components.
  • Database Hardening: Implementing security controls for databases including access restrictions, encryption, and audit logging.
  • Cloud Infrastructure Hardening: Securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) with proper IAM, network segmentation, and security services.
  • Container & Orchestration Hardening: Securing Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized environments.

We follow industry-standard frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, DISA STIGs, and vendor-specific security guides to ensure comprehensive hardening of your systems.

Our Process

1

Current State Assessment

We perform a comprehensive review of your current security configurations, identifying gaps and areas for improvement.

2

Baseline Development

We develop security baselines based on industry standards (CIS Benchmarks, NIST, DISA STIGs) tailored to your environment and requirements.

3

Hardening Implementation

We implement security hardening measures across operating systems, applications, databases, and network devices.

4

Configuration Management

We establish configuration management processes to maintain security baselines and prevent configuration drift over time.

5

Testing & Validation

We thoroughly test all hardening measures to ensure they don't impact functionality while providing the intended security benefits.

6

Documentation & Training

We provide comprehensive documentation of all changes and training for your team on maintaining hardened configurations.
