How Can You Ensure Security on a Server?

It is important to secure your server to prevent data loss or security compromises. Because security is such a challenging subject for many, it often goes unheeded. Many are caught unaware when an issue arises. By following these best practices, you can significantly lower your risk of being compromised by a malicious actor.

VMware ESXi is a bare-metal hypervisor software installed on servers that can use the physical hardware to create one or more virtual machines (VMs). It is an operating system-independent hypervisor based on the VMkernal operating system that interfaces with agents that run on top of it. ESXi stands for Elastic Sky X Integrated.

Linux Malware Detect (LMD), or Maldet, is a malware scanner designed by R-FX Networks that finds and helps deal with malware on Linux machines. It was built to combat the threats faced in shared hosting environments. It uses virus information from different malware detection structures to find currently used malware and generates key factors that allow it to be detected to help others.

Bare metal programming is a low-level type of programming that is hardcoded to a system at the hardware level and operates without an abstraction layer or operating system (OS). It also interlinks with the hardware, considering the specific build of components.
