1) Use firewall to block access to everything but the services you need |
| 10 |
to be accessible.(be very careful here so you DO NOT disable YOUR access) |
| 11 |
2) Update your packages to their latest stable versions. |
| 12 |
3) Check the configuration of your services - they should deny all |
| 13 |
functionality but the one you intended to provide. |
| 14 |
4) Enable activity logging - this would help you find out the way |
| 15 |
somebody is trying to penetrate you system and give you opportunity to |
| 16 |
take counter measures. |
| 17 |
5) Pray :) |
