Secure Ubuntu Server Setup & Hardening — Colorado

Protect your Colorado-based infrastructure from day one with a hardened Ubuntu, Debian, or CentOS server configured for security and reliability.

What You'll Get

• Firewall configuration — UFW or firewalld rules that expose only the ports you need while blocking everything else.
• SSH key-only access — Root password login disabled and secure key pairs generated for each admin account.
• Fail2ban installation — Automated banning of brute-force attempts across SSH, web services, and other exposed ports.
• System updates & unattended upgrades — Automatic security patches applied with email notifications on critical changes.
• Basic monitoring & logging — Logwatch reports and rsyslog tweaks so you know when something unusual happens.
• Documentation package — Clear markdown file with all commands, IPs, and recovery steps for future admins.

My Process

1. Step 1: Discovery Call — We review your stack, required ports, and compliance needs so the ruleset matches your workload.
2. Step 2: Base Hardening — Fresh OS is updated, unnecessary services removed, and SSH is locked to key authentication only.
3. Step 3: Security Layers — Firewall rules, fail2ban, and unattended-upgrades are installed and tested against common attack patterns.
4. Step 4: Handoff & Support — You receive the server checklist, root-level credentials via encrypted channel, and 7 days of post-setup support.
