Host Hardening Services

System hardening is a step by step process of securely configuring a system to protect it against unauthorized access, while taking steps to make the system more reliable. Generally anything that is done in the name of system hardening ensures that the system is both secure and reliable.

System hardening is necessary since "out of the box", some operating systems tend to be designed and installed primarily to be easy to use rather than secure. Most but not all systems can have security measures enabled that will make them suitable for high security and high reliability environments.
