UK’s National Cyber Security Centre Give Advice on Securing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Dubbed Bionic Beaver, the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS operating system was launched in April 2018 as the latest release of Canonical’s popular Ubuntu Linux OS, and it’s a long-term support release that will receive security and software updates for the next five years, until April 2023. The Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS point release is also available for download and includes all the latest security updates. Being based on the Linux kernel, Ubuntu is already a secure computer operating system compared to Windows or macOS, but if you’re living in the UK (United Kingdom) and you need to configure your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installations for maximum security, the National Cyber Security Centre tells you how.
