Part I Protecting Systems

One critical factor in enterprise security is system minimization and hardening. HP-UX 11i offers

a set of security features designed to address known and unknown vulnerabilities by running

only the services that are needed, thus minimizing a potential point of attack.

This section discusses the following HP-UX tools that protect a system against an attack, and

detect and react to threats:

• Installing the HP-UX operating environment securely (Chapter 1)

• Administering user and system security (Chapter 2)

• Standard Mode Security Extensions (Chapter 3)

• Remote access security administration (Chapter 4)
