Linux Server Security Hardening
Practical Linux web-server hardening for hosting environments running WordPress, Joomla, PrestaShop and PHP applications.
Describe the warning, redirect, spam, malware or suspicious behaviour. Temporary credentials can be arranged only if deeper access is needed.
Reduce the attack surface of your web server
Server security is not a single plugin or firewall rule. MIDOSSA reviews the layers that matter to website hosting and applies appropriate hardening based on the environment.
Firewall & Access Control
Firewall review, exposed-service reduction, SSH configuration, authentication and administrative access review.
Malware & Abuse Protection
ClamAV deployment where appropriate, Fail2ban configuration, log review and practical controls against repeated automated abuse.
System Maintenance
Security updates, package review, PHP/web-stack maintenance and removal of unnecessary or obsolete components where safe.
- UFW/nftables/firewalld review as appropriate
- Fail2ban configuration
- SSH and privileged-user review
- File ownership and permission checks
- Apache/Nginx and PHP-FPM review
- MySQL/MariaDB exposure review
- SSL/TLS configuration checks
- Backup and recovery readiness
- Security update planning
