Overview This paper provides the basics of securing a server attached to the Internet, explaining what a system administrator should do and why. The approach is intentionally high-level. System administration is by nature a complex business, and there are no neat and tidy templates to follow. This paper should give you a good idea of what you need to think about when securing an application server for public access. Important topics discussed include restricting and monitoring system services, keeping both your operating system and applications up-to-date with security fixes, and understanding user, group, and file management.
