Threats against enterprises are wide and varied, including all manner of attack, such as outsider penetration, insider abuse of privilege, and denial of service from poorly trained users. This is known as "hardening" a system, and it can be very effective for repelling hackers and deterring misuse.Hardening is accomplished through establishing security procedures, correct system configuration, physical security, and the addition of third-party products. Each type of hardening protects against a class of risk. Hardening can be a selective process that reduces the amount of work necessary for effective protection. All threats are not relevant to all computers or all organizations. The company time and money can be saved by protecting the network from relevant risks instead of all risks.
