In a time when data breaches, ransomware, and privacy violations make daily headlines, it’s more important than ever to properly secure your workstations and company data.
Many organizations already rely on Linux for its proven stability and security — but even a Linux system needs maintenance and attention.
With 8db Linux Support, you choose complete control, expert management, and peace of mind — without unnecessary complexity.
1. A secure foundation starts with proper management
Linux provides a strong foundation, but true security depends on how the system is configured and maintained.
Even the most robust distribution can become vulnerable due to misconfigured permissions, open ports, or unpatched software.
Our approach starts with a thorough security analysis of your systems:
- Check for open network ports and active services
- Review of system permissions and user roles
- Assessment of update policy and package sources
- Recommendations for immediate risk reduction
This way, you know exactly where your risks lie — and how to improve them.
2. Firewalls and network security: the first line of defense
A properly configured firewall is the cornerstone of every secure system.
8db ensures that your Linux desktops and laptops only communicate what’s necessary — nothing more.
We assist with:
- Configuration of ufw or firewalld for access control
- Setup of VPN connections and secure tunneling
- Protection against unwanted traffic and brute-force attacks
- Monitoring and logging of network activity
This keeps your corporate network clean, transparent, and better protected from external threats.
3. Encryption: safeguarding sensitive data
Whether it’s laptops on the go or workstations handling client data — encryption is essential.
In case of loss or theft, it prevents unauthorized access to business information.
8db implements modern, proven encryption techniques:
- Full-disk encryption (LUKS, dm-crypt)
- Encryption of home directories and sensitive folders
- Key management and recovery procedures
- Secure storage of backups and external media
This keeps your data protected — even outside your office environment.
4. User management and access control
A secure organization starts with proper user management.
Without clear separation of permissions, employees or applications may have more access than intended.
Linux offers powerful tools to manage this effectively, and 8db helps with:
- Setup of sudo privileges and role distribution
- Authentication management (e.g. via LDAP or Keycloak)
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) for critical access
- Logging and auditing of system activities
Your employees get exactly the access they need — no more, no less.
5. Privacy-friendly work without Big Tech dependency
More and more organizations want to take privacy seriously.
With Linux and open-source software, you have the freedom to decide where your data is stored and who has access to it.
8db supports with:
- Use of self-hosted solutions (Nextcloud, Jitsi, Matrix)
- Configuration of privacy-friendly browsers and email clients
- Securing local AI solutions without data leaving for the cloud
- Awareness and training for employees
This way, your organization works more securely and privacy-responsibly — fully aligned with GDPR principles.
Security isn’t optional — it’s a choice
Linux provides a powerful foundation, but true security only comes with active management and clear policies.
8db Linux Support helps you secure systems, protect data, and embed privacy into the core of your organization.
With Linux Security & Privacy Support, you choose peace of mind, control, and trust — every single day.
