Why is Security Hardening important?

Minimized Attack Surface

Reduces the number of entry points for potential attackers.

Compliance

Meets regulatory and organizational security requirements.

Resilience

Increases resistance to both automated and targeted attacks.

Performance

Optimizes system performance by disabling unnecessary features or services.
