When it comes to controls that help secure a network the best options to set up are encryption, device hardening, and system restore points. Encryption is an important security feature to set up because this makes the data unreadable to outsiders as long as they don’t have the encryption key for the device. Device hardening is when the owner disables all unnecessary accounts, services, and subsystems which strengthens the security of the device from hackers trying to access the network through an unused account or service. System restore points are also a great way to control your data by backing it up in case of a natural disaster destroying the server or if the system is infected with a virus then you can restore it from the disk image. With all three of these options implemented your system will become very secure but you’ll need to continually monitor it because even though it’s pretty secure there are always vulnerabilities that hackers find and will exploit the system if they find them.
