Server hardening, done properly.
A structured review and lockdown of server configuration — firewall rules, access controls, services and permissions.
Default configurations aren't secure configurations.
- Unnecessary services and ports left open.
- Root or administrator access used for everyday operations.
- Weak or reused credentials on critical systems.
- No consistent hardening standard across servers.
A documented, repeatable hardening process.
Trinode reviews and hardens firewall rules, access controls, service configuration and permissions, following a consistent standard across every server we manage.
