Linux is capable of high-end security, yet any linux system will contain security vulnerabilities when first released. The out-of-the-box configurations must be altered to meet the security needs of today’s hazardous internet environment. Adiungo secures the Linux systems in a process called hardening, using best practice security solutions.
 

These steps are essential for protecting any server that is connected to the internet. Hardening the operating system allows the server to operate efficiently and securely. These steps include updating the system, locking down ports, logging, maintenance and antivirus software.
 

Every hosting plan offered by Adiungo therefore incorporates fully managed security, offers perimeter protection, including firewalls, server security with proactive application patching, and a combination of active and passive intrusion detection and prevention.
 

This multi-layered security stragegy with managed software updates, snort intrusion prevention, Cisco guard DDoS mitigation, tipping and point intrusion prevention has proven to be very effective.
