Tell HN: Practical guidance on securing technology

With Cyber Security heating up, I thought I will point out something useful that I personally did not know. CIS Security provide unbiased consensus-based security benchmarks with practical implementable guidance on how to secure your technology such as securing Ubuntu servers or securing android devices. These benchmarks can be accessed here - https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/downloads/multiform/ Example of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server benchmark ------------------------------------------------ https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/tools2/linux/CIS_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS_Server_Benchmark_v1.0.0.pdf I have personally found their benchmarks and tools very useful. These are available free of charge so it works very well for bootstraps.
