When: December 8th, 2015 7:30 pm Speaker: Kyle Rankin Location: O'Reilly Media at 1005 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol, CA in the Tarsier conference room past the metal statue and to the right (http://nblug.org/locations) Title: Simple but Effective Server Hardening Description: Server security is more important now than ever, yet many of the hardening guides out there read like they were written a decade ago (probably because they were!) Modern server hardening can be an obscure and complicated subject but it doesn't have to be. There are a number of simple and fast-to-implement steps you can take to dramatically increase the security of your infrastructure. In this talk Kyle will start with an overview of security best practices and provide a series of current yet simple hardening examples effective for securing everything from traditional bare-metal networks, cloud infrastructure, and even your home network.
