Application hardening involves implementing security measures to protect applications from vulnerabilities and attacks. In this section, we cover best practices for securing web servers, databases, and containerized environments.
- Web Server Security: Guidelines for hardening web servers like Apache and Nginx against common web-based threats.
- Database Security: Recommendations for securing database servers and protecting sensitive data.
- Container Security: Best practices for securing containerized environments and ensuring the integrity of containerized applications.
Before delving into application hardening, ensure that you have completed the foundational and advanced hardening steps to establish a secure baseline for your server.
Each topic in this section provides detailed instructions and best practices for securing specific application components. Follow the guides to apply these practices to your Linux server.
