Server Hardening
Are you relying on your corporate firewalls as your security server's last line of defense? Suppose a firewall gets compromised, exposing your security server to the public. Will you be prepared? Security systems manufacturers usually try to make the installation technician's job a little easier by relaxing some of the network and computer security settings on the servers they ship. When the installation is complete, the system is often left in that configuration, leaving it open and vulnerable to hackers that could have penetrated your company firewall system.
Our hardening service shrinks your attack surface so that you can assure your CSO and CEO that, yes, you have done everything possible to ensure the IT security of your security systems. Drop-ship your new security server directly to Codebench and let our team deploy the latest network and computer security patches. We offer 2 - 3 day turnarounds for most systems. We maintain databases of common vulnerabilities for Windows, UNIX, AIX, and Linux operating systems. When a server arrives in our lab, we run a series of penetration tests that finds all of the known security holes. Appropriate patches are installed and the tests are repeated until the system is locked down. When we´re satisfied, we generate a detailed report that thoroughly documents the hardening process we used and send it along with the newly hardened server. Hackers will decide to look for an easier target!
