Security hardening Wrap-up
Great work on learning about security hardening!
Let's take a few minutes to wrap up what you've learned.
You learned about security hardening and its importance to an organization's infrastructure.
First, we discussed how security hardening strengthens systems and networks to reduce the likelihood of an attack.
Next, we covered the importance of OS hardening, including patch updates, baseline configurations,
and hardware and software disposal.
Then we explored network hardening practices, such as network log analysis and firewall rule maintenance.
Finally, we examined cloud network hardening and the responsibilities of both organizations and
cloud service providers in maintaining security.
As a security analyst, you'll be working with operating systems, on-premise networks, and cloud networks.
You'll be using all the knowledge that we learned in this section in your career as a security analyst.
