Service For
Server to Maximize Security:
The servers are the foremost and the most important thing in a
network if you are going to need to provide services to your
consumer with the best security and setup required..The most useful
services are as follows:
- SSH
Keys:
- They are the pair of cryptographic keys that are used in
authenticating to an SSH server as an alternative to password
logins.
- There is a step in which private as well as the public keys are
developed prior to the authentication.
- These keys are kept secured by the uer while the public key can
be shared by anyone;
- Firewalls:
- They are an most important part of any server
configurations.
- They restrict the access to everything expect the specific
services that you need to remain open for.
- Exposing only a few pieces of the software helps in reducing
the attacks on the server which is regarded to as limiting the
components that are vulnerable to the exploitatins.
- VPN's &
Private Networking:
- The private networks are the networks that
are only available to the certain servers or users. They enhance
the security by providing us with a private connection which is
preferably more over the public networking.
- A way to map out a private network that will only lead your
servers to pave a way to be fully private and secure.
- It is easy to implement as an interface during the time when
your servers creation and configuring your applications and mostly
the firewalls to use them as a private network.
- SSL/TLS
Encryption:
- These are for the certificate based
authentication. They are used to authenticate the different
entities to one another. They are also used for the encryption of
the data that is been exchanged with the server by the user.
- It requires a bit on initial effort to setup the SSL/TLS
Encryption and making the keys infrastructure a bit of
functional.
- It also requires VPN tunnel to operate with on a key note.
Hence, these are all the services that we must implement on the
server and the methods that you will use the security of the system
to enhance the network security.
