I know this is a joke but for anyone reading: Linux has many advantages and is great but is NOT immune to viruses or exploits.
Though there are very few of them... at least regarding virurses.
That isn't true at all.
Source: My job is hardening Linux servers against cyber security threats.
Hardening a server is not the same thing as running vulnerable operating systems.
According to NIST it is:
You have to harden servers because they're vulnerable.
That's because of the function of a server running those services. A desktop isn't running services.
Desktops absolutely run services that can be vulnerable.
At my job we are looking to use a hardened ubuntu image but not sure what to pick. Got any recommendations?
Are you guys using an AMI, or is this for physical servers? The NEMU images for RHEL on AWS are pretty solid, although I'm working on building one from scratch for our move to RHEL9
We are using an AMI on aws for Ubuntu right now. We need to stick to Ubuntu also since our product is tested on that distribution and so on. What about hardened Ubuntus?
I belive that they have hardened Ubuntu images as well.
Does it have to be Ubuntu, or would Debian be fine? If Debian is fine, check out KickSecure.
I think desktop Linux was implied. You don't browse porn from servers. Mostly.
Tf does the "mostly" mean??
Because you CAN browse porn from server.
