With the increasing number of cyber threats due to exposed vulnerabilities, device hardening has become a crucial aspect of cybersecurity. Each new device introduced to a network is another opportunity for cyber attackers to infiltrate our networks, so we have to make sure we are doing everything we can to thwart their attempts. The harsh reality is most operating systems and applications are developed with a focus of convenience over security, making our job even harder.  Even if we are taking steps to make sure devices on our network are properly configured, there is more to be done to protect them.  How we manage the devices and control access is also an important piece of the process.  

This month we will discuss the fundamentals of device hardening and what it really means to implement it into your organization.  We will present various techniques that can be used to harden your environment, as well as how security baselines can be used to define normal conditions on a network. In this webinar you will learn:

• What device hardening really is, and how it’s more than just configuration 

• The dangers of an unhardened system 

• Best practices for device hardening 

• Recommendations on how to implement hardening on a device that is already in production
  

Whether you are an IT professional or just someone concerned about your organization’s security, this webinar is one you should make sure to attend.

We will hold a live Q&A at the end of the webinar with Executive VP of Security & Operations, Madison Slater.

*As a bonus we will also provide a Device Hardening Benchmark guide and a Device Hardening policy template.
