Five security controls every server should have
Most of the incidents we handle could have been avoided with simple measures. These are the first ones we check on any new server.
When we take over a server, the first job isn't installing anything: it's closing doors.
1. Key-only access
No SSH passwords. Keys, least-privilege users and a log of every login.
2. Allow-list firewall
Open what's used and nothing else. Every open port needs an owner and a reason.
3. Automatic security updates
Critical patches can't wait for the next maintenance visit.
4. Backups that get tested
A backup that has never been restored is an assumption. We schedule test restores.
5. Monitoring with alerts
Disk, memory, certificates and services going down. If something breaks, the alert reaches a phone, not an inbox nobody reads.
