Hardening
Cybersecurity
Hardening, in cybersecurity, is the process of reducing a system's attack surface by disabling unnecessary services, applying security patches, enforcing strict configurations, and following best-practice benchmarks like those from CIS or NIST. System administrators and security engineers perform hardening on servers, operating systems, and network devices to minimize vulnerabilities.
