Check out Lynis. It does a full scan on your server and give you a report on the security.

My list is as below:

Setup server

install lynis scan and fix the security issues.

use webmin and install configserver firewall.

Check server security with that, can tweak a lot of settings with that to reach a good security score.

Lock down access to specific IPs like to few network/Vpn/to jump server.

My company is part of a global group called Publicis which is one of the three global communication groups and would have close to 80,000 employees. In 2016, Publicis will celebrate its 90th anniversary and they have decided to help 90 promising digital projects and start-ups through funding. This initiative called Publicis90 is launched today. A dedicated online platform is open to receive projects and ideas from all over the world. Anybody based in a country where we operate has the opportunity to easily submit his or her project. So if you or anyone you know has a great idea, submit it on the below link.

Just a thought, can you see if you can set SEP processor affinity to only 1 processor?

Open task manager, select the process- right click - set Affinity- from list of all processor, deselect all and just select one processor.

Good Morning ML, back from Vacation from the Philippines. It was fun and relaxing.

Now back to work!

Couldn't find this on ML, on search, not sure if this was already discussed.

It was pretty annoying to see the ADs on skype and found this, tested and working fine on my Windows.

WINDOWS ONLY

1. Open-up Internet Explorer then "Internet Options".
2. Go to the "Security" tab.
3. Click on the "Restricted Sites" icon, then the "Sites" button below it.
4. Type "https://apps.skype.com/" (without the quotes) into the text box and click "Add"
5. Close and apply the changes.
6. Restart Skype.
