System Hardening | What does the Enforce Administrator do?
System hardening is an efficient and effective way to reduce the attack surface of your IT systems. This enables you to configure your operating systems, software and cloud applications in such a way that they are better protected against hacker and similar attacks. Among other things, this is achieved by disabling unneeded services and revoking unneeded permissions.
With system hardening you ensure better information security, more data protection and adherence to strict compliance requirements.
The Enforce Administrator is the perfect solution for hardening complex IT system landscapes centrally and fully automatically. And it does so permanently, always based on globally recognized hardening standards.
