System Hardening is the process of securing a system’s configuration and settings to reduce IT vulnerability and the possibility of being compromised. This can be done by reducing the attack surface and attack vectors which attackers continuously try to exploit for purpose of malicious activity.
By creating a secure and compliant state for all IT systems and combining that with ongoing, context-based change control plus baseline management, Spypro Security Solutions ensures systems remain in a secure and compliant state at all times.
A hardened system is one that is fundamentally secure and rendered hack-proof. Hardening a device requires known security ‘vulnerabilities’ to be eliminated or mitigated. A ‘vulnerability’ is any weakness or flaw in software design, implementation, administration and configuration of a system, which provides a mechanism for an attacker to exploit. A secure, locked down configuration requires care to achieve a good balance between security and operational function.
Vulnerability management and maintaining a hardened build standard are inextricably linked to tight change control. Any configuration changes, be it a through patching or other system maintenance, may introduce vulnerabilities so visibility and control of changes is an essential security best practice.
