Unit 3 - Data Safety and Best Practices

3.1.2 - System Hardening Part 1

System Hardening


is the process of securing a system by
reducing its surface of vulnerability.
This involves configuring the system to 
eliminate as many security risks as
possible by removing nonessential software,
unnecessary usernames or logins, and
disabling unused services.
Here are the key components and strategies
involved in system hardening:

Operating System Updates
Application Updates
Minimize Installed Software
User Account Management
Disable Unused Services
Firewall Configuration
Anti-Malware Tools
Encryption
Audit and Monitoring
Security Policies and Training
