Threat actors frequently exploit unpatched security vulnerabilities in software and applications to infect Linux systems with harmful malware, but what happens when we implement a comprehensive, automated patch management solution to identify and remediate security issues before they are exploited by adversaries? We put this approach to the test, and it proved to be highly effective in stopping Linux malware attacks.
We also look at what happens when we add on predictive analysis detection and automated remediation to find and fix new and known WordPress vulnerabilities. We put a few strategies to the test to find the best way to secure your WordPress install, and this one emerged as highly effective.
I also had the opportunity to spend some time exploring how firewalls are great for blocking many types of attacks, but they have key limitations that admins must be aware of. Do you know what they are, and how you should be preventing hackers from working around them? What other options are available for protecting against those attacks your firewall leaves you unprotected from? We investigate the limitations of firewalls and offer expert advice on ways you can secure your Linux system with additional layers of protection beyond a firewall.
Hope you enjoy!
