Server Security
Host Firewall Tuning
Restrict exposed ports and services.
Host firewalls are a last line when network segmentation is incomplete or hosts sit on risky internal paths. Unnecessary open ports simplify exploitation.
Hoxy defines inbound/outbound policy by server role and keeps exceptions minimal and documented.
Coordination with perimeter firewalls and configuration management keeps policies consistent across the fleet.
Validation with allowed-service connectivity tests prevents outages.
Highlights
- Server-role-based policy
- Minimizing exposed ports
- Fleet-wide consistency
- Validation without service disruption
Outcomes
- Reduced per-host attack surface
- Better containment after internal footholds
- Stronger alignment to hardening baselines
