About this Gig

Is your new VPS server exposed to online threats? A default Linux installation is not secure and can be vulnerable to attacks within minutes of going online.


With over 15 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, data centers, and Linux administration, I offer a professional hardening service to protect your server from hackers, malware, and data theft. As an IT specialist and security professional, I will meticulously implement a multi-layered security strategy on your server.


What I will do to secure your VPS:


  • SSH Hardening: Change the default port, disable root login, and enforce key-based authentication.
  • Firewall Configuration: Set up and configure a robust firewall (UFW/firewalld) to block unauthorized ports.
  • Intrusion Detection: Install and configure tools like Fail2Ban to automatically block malicious IPs.
  • System Updates: Ensure all software packages are up-to-date to patch known vulnerabilities.
  • Malware & Rootkit Scans: Perform a full system scan to detect and remove any existing threats.
  • Service Auditing (Premium): Review and disable any unnecessary services to minimize your server's attack surface.
