Operating Systems

Operating system hardening is often overlooked but provides a key layer of defence. This is the process of hardening the settings and configuration of desktops, laptops and servers, including Linux, MacOS and Windows. This service is most often applied to user workstations. Reviews are designed to harden operating systems against both intentional and accidental malicious user actions. For example, ensuring protections for against ransomware or compromised user accounts being used to access sensitive data.

Our expert assessors perform checks to validate that systems are well configured and that all patches and updates have been properly installed and enabled. Realize Security will review system builds and make recommendations for hardening steps that can be distributed across your user and server estate.
