I will set up, secure and harden your cloud server
About this Gig
A fresh server or cloud instance is a soft target: default ports open, no firewall, root login enabled, no monitoring. I lock it down fast, using the hardening checklist I've refined over 20 years running production systems.
What I do:
- Firewall and network rules only what you need stays open
- SSH hardening, key-based auth, and disabling risky defaults
- Automatic security updates and basic intrusion detection
- Logging and alerting so you know the moment something's wrong
I work with Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS) and cloud instances on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as standalone VPS.
Quick, affordable, and done right a small investment that closes the doors attackers check first. I confirm your access works before changing anything, and I document every change so nothing surprises you.

FAQ
What servers and systems do you work with?
Linux servers — Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and similar — Windows Servers — plus cloud instances on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and standalone VPS. Not sure if yours fits? Message me and I'll confirm.
Will I get locked out of my own server?
No. I confirm your access works before disabling anything, and I document every change I make so you always know what was done and why.
Will this disrupt what's running on my server?
No. Hardening is done carefully around your live services. I review what's running first and confirm anything that could affect uptime with you before applying it.
Do you provide ongoing monitoring?
The Standard and Premium tiers set up monitoring and alerting. Ongoing management beyond the initial setup can be arranged separately — just ask.
