Operating System Hardening
Operating system (OS) security is a priority for system administrators, but most agree that it is not an easy process. It can be time consuming and difficult, and the process can vary from OS to OS. Quite often operating systems are not secured as well as they should be and/or the level to which they are secured is not easily reportable or auditable.
Operating system hardening software allows system administrators to harden many of the operating systems across their heterogeneous environment with ease and ongoing monitoring, remediation and reporting.
