Server Hardening & Optimization

Post-Incident Hardening & Server Optimization

Eradicating the threat is only step one. We secure the environment against repeat entry — firewall and ModSecurity/CSF rule tightening, SSH/FTP configuration review, least-privilege permission enforcement — and tune performance in the same pass.
