It's a question in the back of every sysadmin's mind. What am I going to do if/when I get hacked? Well, in all actuality there isn't much of a choice. Once you've been compromised, the only option is to wipe it clean and restore from backups (you do have backups, right?) It makes perfect sense that we prefer avoiding the situation altogether as opposed to picking up the pieces afterwards. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to guarantee your server's safety, but there is a lot that can be done to increase your odds. FastServers wants to help keep you out of a painful situation, and we've just taken a big step in the right direction.

Yes, we really do want you to remain virus/rootkit-free. Granted, we make a bit of cash when customers order the inevitable reinstall, but in all honesty we do not enjoy the due process of a security compromise. For one, our techs don't work on commission. I want you safe and secure because it's a lot of work to reinstall a server. That's why a few of our techs have banded together and created a new software package to help keep you out of trouble.

Ultra-Guard Suite is our new security package specifically designed to greatly enhance the safety of your data. It includes many functions, including a software firewall, brute-force detection, web server protection, and overall system security tightening. We've been working hard on this package for awhile now, and I'm excited to see it in action. I hope everyone's as excited as myself, because we're going to start pushing it out next week. Hackers beware, your days are numbered... in single digits!
