Security

Out of curiosity, and my own benefit, I would really like to know what all the server admins are doing to protect their servers from outside attacks and possible threats.

In other words, what are you guys doing to protect your servers.

I feel a growing paranoia, that as long as I continue to grow(my compnay) more and more enemies will arise, whom are out to get me, and bring us into the ground. I don't know if this is a shared paranoia.

Typically, I've used:

1. mod_security
2. mod_evasive
3. SSHblack
4. PortSentry

ensure that any externally accessible applications on your servers are free of known exploits, subscribe to the app's news feed (to watch for security updates), and make sure they're patched regularily.
