vulnerability mitigation

In the world of Linux, system security is a priority for admins and users alike. While Linux is often praised for its robust security model, no system is infallible. Hardening your Linux system minimises the risk of attackers exploiting your machine. In this blog post, we will cover key security best practices and operational steps using Bash commands, tailored for various Linux package managers like apt (Debian/Ubuntu), dnf (Fedora), and zypper (openSUSE). One of the simplest and most effective ways to secure your Linux system is to keep it updated. Updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities, so regular updates can prevent potential exploits.
