• LES - (Linux Environment Security) - Enforces root-only permissions on system binaries as well as other restrictions on system programs.
• Exiscan with Clam-Antivirus  - Detect emails containing viruses or spam and discard them so your server is not the origin of the spread of today’s common viruses or spam emails.
• /tmp & /var/tmp hardening – We harden /tmp and /var/tmp so no malicious bash scripts can be executed from this commonly used directory.
• /dev/shm & /proc hardening - Another place hackers tend to upload files to is /dev/shm. This directory is hardened as well.
