What Are the Security Steps You Must Take for Your VPS Server?

Cyber-attacks are getting more frequent and dangerous leaving you at the risk of losing your data and money. You must make sure that your server is secure and well- protected to safe guard the vital information that your customers share with you. This becomes more crucial if you have chosen the unmanaged VPS hosting services.

The first step you must take is to audit your server. Keep a check on what is running on your server and which are the likely vulnerable applications your VPS server is running that could expose you to threats. You can find plenty of tools and software to carry out the audits.

The second security measure you should do is keep your server up-to-date with software updates and security patches. Take a backup services of your applications and data on daily basis. This will ensure your data is available to you in case you are attacked. Keep your SSH secure as it is one of the usual targets of the hackers. Change default port of SSH configuration. Do not allow users to log into your server using SSH. Limit the login access to a select few. Deploy intrusion detection software. Run regular anti-malware and anti-virus scans and protect your servers with strong firewalls.
