I will secure and harden your AWS ec2 or linux server
Cloud Engineer
About this Gig
Is your server open to password guessing, or running with every port exposed? I lock down AWS EC2 and Linux servers so only the traffic you need gets in.
Every order includes:
- SSH set to keys only, with root and password logins switched off
- A firewall that allows only the ports your site uses
- Login protection that bans addresses after repeated failed logins
- Automatic security updates
- A written handover of every change and how to undo it
Standard adds an automated security and cost review of one AWS account. Premium covers up to 3 servers, with a full assessment report and the top 5 findings fixed.
I never ask for your AWS root login. You create a limited user for me and remove it when the job is done. I test your own key login before switching passwords off, so you can't be locked out, and I keep your site running while I work.
Please message me before ordering so I can check your server, its operating system and what runs on it. I also offer monthly support for updates and security checks.

FAQ
Do you need my AWS root login or server password?
No. You create a limited user for me and remove it when I'm done. I'll send you the steps.
Could I get locked out of my own server?
No. I test your key login before passwords are switched off, and I keep a backup of every setting I change.
Which systems do you support?
Ubuntu, Debian and Amazon Linux, on AWS EC2 or any VPS. Message me for other Linux systems. Windows servers aren't covered.
Will my site go down while you work?
I make one change at a time and check your site after each one.
What does the AWS review in Standard cover?
Automated checks against AWS best practice for security, cost and reliability, on one account in one region, using read-only access. You get the findings with fixes.
What does the full report in Premium look like?
There's a sample in the gallery PDFs. Each finding has a severity, its impact, and a short-term and long-term fix.
Do you offer monthly support?
Yes. Updates, security checks and small fixes each month. Message me and I'll send a custom offer.
