“Common Linux Security Vulnerabilities and Solutions.”
“The amount of work required to secure your Linux installation
is no less than with many other systems and is directly
proportionate to the value you place on your server. The widespread
scrutiny of Linux has lead to numerous online resources to mitigate
the problems caused by common security vulnerabilities.”
“Maintaining strong security is a process, not an event.
Independent audits performed at a frequent interval are a desired
best practice, but constant logfile and system health monitoring is
a must. While we can look with hope at future developments that
will automate security assessment and reduce risk, continuous
vigilance is the Linux administrator’s best security tool.”
