Operating System ‘OS’ Hardening definition

Operating System ‘OS’ Hardening provides the comprehensive security check of the operating system environment against the best practices mentioned in the advisories released by CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) and other well known vendors. Sify SOC team engages with customer to ensure that the system is hardened and is not venerable to any loopholes. The process of hardening will be carried out with the customer approval on the Initial Recommendations report, which details all vulnerable ports or services running in the server. Reports on patch status and vulnerability assessment will also be sent to the customer as they form an integral part of the hardening technique. OS Hardening is a onetime activity done on the server before it moves into production and is undertaken with each reinstallation or new server movement.
