Server Security and Server Hardening Services
Servers hold your most important data, which makes them a prime target. Our server hardening and security services close common weaknesses, such as open remote access, missing patches and weak passwords, and keep watching your Windows and Linux servers for anything unusual.

Overview
What is server hardening?
Server hardening is the process of reducing a server’s attack surface: removing services it does not need, closing unused ports, applying security updates, enforcing strong authentication and setting tight permissions. It turns a default installation into one that is much harder to break into.
Hardening is not a one-time task. New vulnerabilities appear every month, and changes made for an application can reopen old gaps. Ongoing server security combines regular patching, access reviews and monitoring so your servers stay protected.
- Fewer open doors for attackers
- Patches applied on a schedule
- Alerts on suspicious activity

FAQs
Server Security FAQs
Server Security FAQs
What is server hardening?
Server hardening reduces a server’s attack surface by removing unneeded services, closing ports, applying updates, enforcing strong authentication and tightening permissions.
Why is open RDP a risk?
Remote Desktop exposed to the internet is a common target for password guessing and ransomware. We restrict it behind VPN, IP rules or multi-factor authentication.
Do you secure both Windows and Linux servers?
Yes. We harden and maintain Windows Server and popular Linux distributions, on-premise and in the cloud.
Will hardening break our applications?
We review what each server runs, test changes and apply them in agreed windows, so applications keep working.
How often should servers be patched?
Security updates should be applied at least monthly, and critical fixes as soon as practical. We follow an agreed schedule with emergency patching when needed.
