    How to maintain security of your server

    To get an access to a root of server is the most targeted part for hackers. There is not exact amount for the number of servers that are put out daily with weak passwords online and get hacked. To manage the security for the server you can take simple measures for that. There are certain common stuff you have to try and that can help you to remove the possibility of getting hacked. DATA is the most important part here which become the victim of the same without your knowledge. The most common indicatoin starts from getting virus infections. There are ample of program which provide full security support to protect your servers.

    First comes the password. This is also the most important port. Use an passwords with 10 characters atleast. It is essential to force the user for choosing strong passwords and that to different letters in that 10 characters. The ability of scripts brute force has grown over time and therefore it is necessary to adopt more advance methods to protect yourself. All major Linux distributions and control panels allow you to force users to choose passwords with a certain minimum number of characters.

    Second do not forget to replace public keys on a regular basis. The tendency on the management of public keys to access a server is to use the same for an indefinite period of time. It is a mistake that can be paid with serious consequences if the same key is used to access multiple servers. The advice is to regularly replace the public keys in the same way they are replaced regularly and password to use a single key for a single server.

    To protect the network environment, use one or more of the available technology Transport Layer Security. Since even the most reliable infrastructures are vulnerable places, it is recommended to create several levels of security for mission-critical network data. It is strongly recommended not to install the database locally on the AD RMS server RMS. It is better to use the full remote SQL Server. Pay close attention protect the server root CA Certificate Services Active Directory, as Exploit this server compromise the whole chain of CA. Keep the root CA server in a physically locked position and turn it off if it is not currently needed - or take advantage of server virtualization Windows.

    I have some quiet tips on the same which would be worth sharing here. First do not allow direct root login / administrator. Second you must ensure that passwords are secure and change them regularly. Third you must use a firewall on your server. Third remember that chroot all-root user did not to keep them from directories. Do not forget to use anti-virus scanners and spam filters. Also do not forget to update your server software regularly. Make tests to detect security vulnerabilities. Use SSL for secure data transactions. Set permissions as strict as possible.
