Best Practices for Securing Your Server

Keeping your server secure is a shared responsibility. Follow these best practices to protect your data and services.

Use Strong Authentication

  • Use strong, unique passwords.
  • Prefer SSH keys over password authentication.
  • Disable root login over SSH.

Keep Software Updated

Regularly install security updates for your operating system and installed applications.

Configure a Firewall

Only allow necessary ports and services. Block all other traffic by default.

Monitor Logs

Review system and application logs for suspicious activity. Consider using tools like Fail2Ban.

Back Up Regularly

Maintain off-site backups and test your restoration process.
