New devices were deployed on a network and need to be hardened.
Use the drop-down menus to define the appliance-hardening techniques that provide the most secure solution.
Role-based access control enforces least privilege for SQL Server. TLS 1.3 protects web traffic with current strong transport encryption. Disabling direct root access reduces privileged-account exposure, and disabling unused switch ports prevents unauthorized physical connections. An allow-list firewall policy permits only explicitly authorized traffic. RADIUS provides centralized, stronger wireless authentication, while OS updates remediate known workstation vulnerabilities. MAC filtering is the strongest available WAP-2 control among the listed choices. Password complexity improves resistance to password guessing, and WPA-3 provides stronger wireless protection than legacy 802.11b.
