I'm thrilled to share that SSH Posture Control is generally available to audit and configure SSH Server security posture on supported Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Red Hat, Azure Linux, and more.
With the increasing importance of reducing the attack surface of any fleet of devices, SSH Posture Control provides a comprehensive solution to ensure your servers are configured according to best practices and your environment specific requirements. This results in enhanced security, improved compliance, and increased efficiency throughout your IT infrastructure. This feature not only audits your current SSH server settings but also can auto-remediate configurations to enhance your security posture.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Auditing: SSH Posture Control performs a thorough audit of your SSH server settings, and identifying potential misconfigurations.
- Automated Configuration: Save time and reduce errors with automated configuration options that align your SSH server settings with industry best practices.
- Support for Multiple Distros: Whether you're using Ubuntu, Red Hat, Azure Linux, or other supported distributions, SSH Posture Control has you covered.
- Azure Governance: SSH Posture Control integrates seamlessly with Azure Governance services such as Azure Policy and Machine Configuration.
Each compliance check includes evidence via the Reasons field, indicating how compliance or non-compliance was determined. You can customize the SSH parameters or use the policy default values, which are aligned with the Azure security baseline for Linux
