Linux Security: 10 Must-Know Tips to Protect Your System (Stay Safe!)

Even the most secure Linux system can be vulnerable if not properly protected, here's how to fix that fast:

1. Keep your system updated, disable unnecessary services, and never use root for everyday tasks.

2. Set up a strong firewall, limit SSH access, and always use SSH keys instead of passwords.

3. Enable tools like SELinux or AppArmor, and install intrusion detection systems like Tripwire or OSSEC.

4. Apply Zero Trust principles: restrict access by IP, use VPNs like WireGuard, and monitor system logs regularly.

5. Harden your system further by disabling unused kernel modules, limiting USB access, and enabling Two-Factor Authentication.

Linux is powerful, but only if secured. Apply these steps and take control of your system’s safety today.
