How Can We Achieve Workload Hardening?

Workload hardening is the process of securing a system or application to reduce susceptibility to cyber threats. It involves fortifying servers, applications, and computing environments against vulnerabilities by removing surplus features and applying security patches. Benefits include enhanced security posture, compliance with industry standards, and improved system performance. Successful workload hardening requires following best practices such as using the least privilege principle, regular patch management, and disabling unnecessary services. Modern security solutions can support this process with automation and real-time monitoring.
