Analysis of the Operating System for Security Hardening
We perform a comprehensive security review of your operating systems to identify misconfigurations, outdated settings, and potential attack surfaces. Both server and client systems are analyzed against industry best practices and hardening standards (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, BSI, NIST).
Motivation
OS misconfigurations, weak default settings, or missing security controls can provide attackers with easy entry points, leading to privilege escalation, data loss, or complete system compromise. While many organizations focus primarily on application or network security, insufficiently hardened operating systems remain a frequent source of vulnerabilities. A structured hardening analysis helps uncover these hidden risks, ensures compliance with security standards, and significantly increases the resilience of both servers and clients against modern attack techniques.
What We Offer
At rasotec, we provide specialized operating system security analyses for the following target systems:
- Linux Servers: Review of system services, package management, permissions, logging, firewall and SSH configuration, kernel parameters, and alignment with CIS/BSI hardening guidelines.
- Windows Servers: Assessment of Active Directory roles, Group Policies, patch levels, services, authentication settings, audit policies, and server-specific hardening controls.
- Windows Clients: Evaluation of workstation security settings, user privilege management, endpoint protection integration, local policies, update mechanisms, and compliance with hardening baselines.
Our experts thoroughly assess system configurations, user and permission management, logging and monitoring, patch levels, and security policies. The outcome is a clear report highlighting weaknesses, prioritized recommendations, and actionable hardening measures to strengthen the resilience of your IT infrastructure against cyber threats.
Upon completion of the analysis, you will receive a detailed report that not only identifies vulnerabilities but also provides practical guidance for implementing OS hardening measures.
Protect your servers and clients with a professional security analysis from rasotec, and ensure that your IT infrastructure is secure, compliant, and resistant to modern cyberattacks.
