Hard Road to Hardening: CIS Benchmarks and Linux Security for Beginners
Monday March 24, 2025 9:30am - 10:15am MDT
Room 220
This project report covers our experience hardening systems running Linux as the backend for Oracle Database. As long-time Linux and Oracle professionals, we unexpectedly found ourselves tasked with a nontechnical yet highly complex issue. Despite our experience, we were overwhelmed by the vast amount of knowledge we needed to acquire in the security domain.

This is a story of criminal threats, self-imposed limitations, calculated risks, hidden dangers, familiar habits, external pressures, real-world challenges, practical applications, performance, overhead, tools, and the key question: Who will maintain this?

Join us as we share our journey toward enhanced security—and the trade-offs that came with it.
