Security

Server hardening

Default configurations often lack critical security adjustments, so you need to harden your server against attacks. To do this, our server hardening service starts with a security assessment using the Nessus security scanner. Our Linux security experts then review the security scan results and harden your Linux system against attack. With automatically vulnerability updates, the Nessus scanner assures we stay atop the latest security threats to your server.

Email security

rackAID has partnered with MXLogic to deliver a comprehensive email protection suit. Anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering and email continuity services combine to deliver a turnkey, cost-effective method to combat email-based threats.

Vulnerability scanning

New exploits emerge daily. Staying on top of these threats requires staff follow-up on automated scan results. We have several security scanning options that allow us to scan your Linux servers monthly, weekly or even daily. Our team then responds to any suspected threat and assists you in securing your IT environment. By keeping a vigilant watch on your systems, we mitigate the risk of a security compromise and continually harden your system against attack.

Security breach assistance

Have you been hacked? rackAID can investigate a compromised system and recommend a best course of action to reactivate your IT services as quickly and safely as possible. We always recommend identifying the vector of the attack so you can prevent future breaches. Once the security gap is filled, you can fire up your IT services again, confident that a similar breach will be unlikely.

Web site protection

Web application exploits are the number-one threat to IT operations today. By employing a web application firewall, you can mitigate this threat and prevent exploits even before they are discovered. By blocking classes of malicious traffic at the firewall level, your web application is protected from serious threats such as XSS, SQL injection and command execution.

Firewall management

Security is best done in layers, and a critical layer is your network. A properly configured firewall can mitigate risks, reduce the impact of an intrusion and prevent costly security breaches. Using IPTables, Cisco, and other firewalls, rackAID can assist you in deploying and configuring a comprehensive firewall protection strategy.

Server management

Good security starts with good server maintenance. Our server management service assures security patches are applied quickly and correctly to your systems. Patching your system often prevents minor security threats from becoming root-level compromises.

Managed hosting

Too much to handle? Our managed hosting solutions can be combined with our security services to provide a secure, scalable hosting environment.
