In order to maintain the integrity of your dedicated server and minimise the risk of downtime, and issues associated with unauthorised access or use of your service, UKFast offers a security audit service.
In addition to providing a complete security audit including port scan, internal scan and process checking; your audit also checks for software updates and patches as well as review firewall policies.
Two levels of security audit are currently available:
1. Full Server Security Audit
- Port scan: to probe any open ports checking services running.Recommendations for action will be made based upon services found.
- Internal scan: to remove or quarantine any viruses, rootkits and spyware.
- Process checking: to check for unwanted processes running. Those identified are isolated/disabled or, if necessary, the server can be completely rebuilt.
- Patch updates: to check and install where necessary software updates and patches (not drivers).
- Firewall review: to review firewall policies in the context of the servers use.
On completion of this audit you are provided with two:
- Full audit summary including a list of recommendations.
- Detailed report of port scan results.
2. Lite Server Security Audit
Once a Full Security Audit has been completed and your server has been given a clean bill of health, further security audits can be completed in the future at a reduced cost. These subsequent audits will help to ensure the server remains healthy, secure and serving you and your customers well.
The Lite Security Audit covers the following:
- Port scan (as per full security audit)
