Cyber attacks are a new form of threat that is detrimental to both organizations and individuals. Cyber attacks can invade a company’s online platforms and undermine data privacy. So by securing a Linux VPS, one can avoid cyber-attacks and threats. Following these VPS security tips can help users to prevent attacks on servers.
#1 Set Strong Passwords
A strong password includes multiple elements such as numerical, special characters, and upper and lower case alphabets. Avoid using personal information to set passwords as they can easily be hacked. This will prevent brute-force attacks on your system.
#2 Disable Root Logins
The privileges offered to root users are way more than other users in any Linux VPS system. By targeting root logins, cyber attackers gain full access to the server. So, by disabling logins from root users’ accounts, one can better secure the server against any cyber-attacks.
#3 Using of SSH Keys
Sniffing attacks can be a cause of concern for users who use passwords to log into SSH accounts. So, they can employ SSH keys to minimize cyber risks. These keys are authentic when compared to passwords and come in two sets such as private and public. While the private keys are stored on one’s system, the public keys are stored on servers. These keys are required for a successful login.
