CYBERSECURITY AND PENTESTING
Hardening and bastioning systems to reduce your exposure
We strengthen the configuration of your servers, services and equipment following CIS standards to eliminate insecure configurations and reduce the attack surface.
What is Hardening and system hardening?
Systems are often installed with default configurations that are meant to work, not secure: unnecessary active services, broad permissions, outdated protocols, or weak encryption. Hardening corrects all of that to minimize your exposure.
We review and reinforce the configuration of your servers (Windows, Linux), services, databases, computers and cloud environments following recognized standards such as CIS Benchmarks. We disable the unnecessary, adjust permissions with least privilege, secure protocols and encryptions, and apply secure configuration best practices.
The result is systems that are more resistant to attacks, with a much smaller surface area and aligned with best practices and compliance requirements.
FEATURES
Features of Hardening and system hardening
Server Bastioning
Windows Server and Linux Hardening according to CIS Benchmarks: services, ports, permissions, logging and updates.
Database Bastioning
Secure configuration of SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL: access, encryption, auditing, and password policies.
Hardening de Active Directory
Review and enforcement of GPOs, delegations, password policies, Kerberos, and administrative privileges.
Bastionado cloud (Azure / AWS)
Review of IAM, security groups, logging, encryption and default configurations in cloud environments.
Workstation Hardening
Secure configuration of user computers: disk encryption, local firewall, software restrictions, and updates.
Firewall and Network Review
Audit firewall rules, network segmentation, and remote access to eliminate permissive rules.
Documentation and evidence
Detailed report of each control applied, before/after, as evidence for compliance audits.
Baseline and templates
Creating reusable secure configuration templates for future deployments.
