Linux Server Hardening
Ansible-driven, immutable, DevSecOps-ready infrastructure

root@omniforge:~/services# cat overview.md
We transform your Linux servers into hardened, compliance-ready systems using industry-standard CIS benchmarks and automation. Every configuration is version-controlled, repeatable, and documented. You get full root access, Ansible playbooks for disaster recovery, and optional post-deployment penetration testing to validate the hardening.
root@omniforge:~/services# ./list-capabilities --format=grid
✓CIS Benchmark Level 1 & 2 compliance (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS)
✓FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module configuration
✓Mandatory access controls (SELinux, AppArmor)
✓Automated patch management & update strategies
✓SSH hardening & key-based authentication
✓Firewall configuration (UFW, iptables, nftables)
✓Intrusion detection (OSSEC, Wazuh, Fail2Ban)
✓Terraform & Ansible infrastructure-as-code integration

[1]
Baseline Assessment
// Audit current security posture, identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
[2]
Hardening Implementation
// Apply CIS benchmarks, configure firewalls, enable audit logging, deploy IDS
[3]
Automation & Documentation
// Create Ansible playbooks for repeatable deployments and disaster recovery
[4]
Validation & Testing
// Run penetration tests and compliance scans to verify hardening effectiveness
