SSH hardening

SSH

Policy

SOVIEZ_SSH_POLICY default staged — hardening is applied carefully to avoid lockout.

Safety

  • SSH hardening may be deferred if lockout risk is detected
  • Fail2Ban may be installed for brute-force protection (this is not Webmin)
  • Do not disable SSH access without an out-of-band console

Troubleshooting

If SSH hardening is deferred: review security report, ensure alternate access, then re-run --security-harden intentionally.
