Design and Implementation of an Automated Security Hardening and Management System for Linux Servers

Abstract

Cybersecurity is an emerging field in computer science with the goal of developing robust and secure systems. System hardening is a cybersecurity term that refers to the process of adding more protection for a system by mitigating vulnerabilities in the system. This process is based on an international guidelines and working on them can take a day for just one system. With the growth and widespread use of digital information, The scenarios of attacks became daily and the solution of the systems founders is to make updates for the editions so this process became a time consumer more an more. In order to automate and facilitate the work, we offered a web based application for ELIT to manage the data centers in a quicker and more efficient way by getting all the information of the process.
