ProShield secures Debian Linux with its security program.
One of the most important features of ProShield is its ability to facilitate weekly backups, which helps you protect your valuable data in case you experience a system failure or encounter critical security issues. Another useful feature is its ability to check for extra root accounts, as well as ensure that account and password files are set up with correct permissions.
The program also scans for any security-hazardous packages that may be installed, as well as packet sniffers, which can be used to intercept and monitor network traffic. Additionally, ProShield checks for new software releases, alerting you when a critical update is available, and provides smart suggestions to upgrade important packages.
ProShield also ensures that 'apt' is not fetching unnecessary information when checking for software updates, as well as verifies that the system time is accurate. It checks the configuration of the ssh server for insecure settings, and checks to ensure that the user is not logged into the system (GUI) as root.
Finally, this highly effective program offers the added benefit of checking for new releases at runtime and can download and install them at the user's preference. In the latest release, a slight improvement was made to the packet sniffer scan, resolving any previous issues with DHCP daemons.
Overall, ProShield is a highly effective and user-friendly security program that offers a robust range of features. It will help you ensure that your Debian Linux system is protected from potential security threats, and that you are alerted to critical updates as soon as they become available.
