Chapter 12. System Security


System security is about as important an IT topic as there is these days. A key responsibility of a system administrator is keeping data secure and safe. In the Internet age, this requires more diligence and preparation that ever before. Even on systems inside a firewall, it is urgent to prepare and monitor for intrusions. This chapter begins by defining system security. It then tackles the issue of prevention, focusing on troubleshooting SSH and system hardening issues.
