Securing access to your servers is critical because it is the first line of defence against unauthorised access and potential breaches. Most security incidents are caused by inadequate access controls, such as weak or default passwords, stolen credentials, and lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA). Without strong access controls, attackers can easily exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access, resulting in system compromise.
Implementing strong access controls, including the use of MFA, regular password updates, and monitoring for suspicious activity, is essential to protecting your servers and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your data.
EGI CSIRT prepared some login and access guidelines which are available on this page: https://confluence.egi.eu/display/EGIBG/Server+management+guidelines
Do not forget to forward your logs to a remote logging service.
