Systems Hardening
Mitigate vulnerabilities by systematically reducing attack surface through secure configuration, patching, and enforced baselines.
Discuss this service →What it is
Systems hardening removes or disables unnecessary services, applies secure configuration benchmarks (CIS, DISA STIGs, vendor guides), enforces patch cadence, and locks down privileges. It is foundational: many breaches exploit known misconfigurations rather than novel zero-days.
