To update the serial number: In the domain browser tree, select the Normal Server with the serial number you want to update. The Enter New Serial Number window appears.

Type or enter the new serial number in the New serial number text box. For ports that are not being used, access is blocked entirely in most configurations. A properly configured firewall will restrict access to everything except the specific services you need to remain open. Exposing only a few pieces of software reduces the attack surface of your server, limiting the components that are vulnerable to exploitation. There are many firewalls available for Linux systems, some are more complex than others.

Here are some options to get up and running:. If you would like to learn how to use Iptables, our Iptables Essentials: Common Firewall Rules and Commands tutorial demonstrates how to use Iptables directly. With any of the tutorials mentioned here, be sure that your firewall configuration defaults to blocking unknown traffic. That way any new services that you deploy will not be inadvertently exposed to the Internet.

Instead you will have to allow access explicitly, which will force you to evaluate how the service is run, accessed, and who should be able to use it. Using private instead of public networking for internal communication is preferable given the choice between the two, as VPC networks allow you to isolate groups of resources into specific private networks. VPC networks will only connect to each other using their private network interfaces over an internal network, which means that the traffic among your systems will not be routed through the public internet where it could be exposed or intercepted.

VPC networks can also be used to isolate execution environments and tenants. Many cloud infrastructure providers enable you to create and add resources to a VPC network inside their data centers. DigitalOcean places each applicable resource Droplets, load balancers, Kubernetes Clusters, and databases into a VPC upon creation at no additional cost.

Manually configuring your own private network can require advanced server configurations and networking knowledge. A big portion of security involves analyzing our systems, understanding the available attack surfaces, and locking down the components as best as we can.

Service auditing is a way of knowing what services are running on a given system, which ports they are using for communication, and what protocols are accepted. This information can help you configure which services should be publicly accessible, firewall settings, and monitoring and alerting.

Servers can run processes for internal purposes and to handle external clients. Each running service, whether it is intended to be internal or public, represents an expanded attack surface for malicious users.

The more services that you have running, the greater the chance of a vulnerability affecting your software. Once you have a good idea of what network services are running on your machine, you can begin to analyze these services. When you perform a service audit, ask yourself the following questions about each running service:. This type of service audit should be standard practice when configuring any new server in your infrastructure.

Performing service audits every few months will also help you catch any services with configurations that may have changed unintentionally. To audit network services that are running on your system, use the ss command to list all the TCP and UDP ports that are in use on a server.

The main columns that need your attention are the Netid, Local Address:Port, and Process name columns. If the Local Address:Port is 0. If the address is [::] then the service is accepting connections on all IPv6 interfaces. With this example output, you could decide if you want to allow SSH and Nginx to listen on both interfaces, or only on one or the other.

Generally you should disable services that are running on unused interfaces. For example if your site should only be reachable via IPv4, you would explicitly prevent a service from listening on IPv6 interfaces to reduce the number of exposed services. Keeping your servers up to date with patches is a must to ensure a good base level of security. Servers that run out of date and insecure versions of software are responsible for the majority of compromises, but regular updates can mitigate vulnerabilities and prevent attackers from gaining a foothold on your servers.

By contrast, unattended updates allow the system to update a majority of packages automatically. Implementing unattended updates lowers the level of effort required to keep your servers secure and shortens the amount of time that your servers may be vulnerable to known bugs.

In the event of a vulnerability that affects software on your servers, your servers will be vulnerable for however long it takes for you to run updates. In conjunction with the service auditing previously mentioned, performing updates automatically can greatly reduce your exposure to attacks and lower the amount of time spent on maintaining the security of your server.

Most server distributions now feature unattended updates as an option. For example, on Ubuntu an administrator can run:. For more details on how to implement unattended updates, check out these guides for Ubuntu under Automatic Updates and Fedora. Make sure that any additional software you may be running like web applications are either configured for automatic updates or checked manually on a regular basis.

Most web servers are configured by default to display directory indexes when a user accesses a directory that lacks an index file. For example, if you were to create a directory called downloads on your web server without any additional configuration, all of the files would be visible to anyone browsing the directory.

Directory indexes have legitimate purposes, but they often unintentionally expose files to visitors.
