With the Safe Harbor framework crumbling, relying on manual server hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate security compliance on Norwegian infrastructure using Ansible 1.9.
Docker is revolutionizing deployment, but default configurations are a security nightmare. Learn how to harden your containers, drop kernel capabilities, and why running Docker on KVM-based infrastructure like CoolVDS is the only sane choice for production in Norway.
Stop managing security with spreadsheets. We explore automating CentOS 7 hardening using Ansible to meet Datatilsynet standards, ensuring your infrastructure is as rigid as the Norwegian winter.
The 'castle and moat' security strategy is failing. We explore how to implement Google's BeyondCorp-style Zero-Trust architecture using KVM, SSH keys, and rigorous segmentation on Norwegian infrastructure.
Manual server hardening is a critical risk. Learn how to automate security baselines using Ansible on CentOS 7, ensure compliance with Datatilsynet guidelines, and why data sovereignty in Norway is your best defense against the crumbling Safe Harbor framework.
In 2015, manual server hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate security baselines using Ansible 1.9 and why keeping data on Norwegian soil is the smartest move for your risk profile.
In 2015, managing server security via spreadsheets is negligence. We explore how to replace manual checklists with Ansible and OpenSCAP on Norwegian infrastructure to satisfy Datatilsynet and PCI-DSS requirements.
The old "hard shell, soft center" security model is obsolete. Learn how to implement Google-style Zero Trust principles using KVM, iptables, and SSH hardening to protect your Norwegian VPS assets.
It is not a matter of if your server will fail, but when. We dissect practical Disaster Recovery strategies for 2015, from MySQL replication to complying with Datatilsynet, ensuring your data survives the worst.
Manual security audits are a liability. Learn how to automate compliance using OpenSCAP and Ansible on CentOS 7, ensuring your infrastructure meets Datatilsynet standards while keeping data strictly within Norwegian borders.
Manual security hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate server compliance under the Norwegian Personal Data Act using Ansible and OpenSCAP, and why sovereign infrastructure matters more than ever.

Manual security audits are a liability in 2015. Learn how to use Ansible and KVM isolation to satisfy Datatilsynet and sleep better at night.
2014 has been brutal for sysadmins. From Heartbleed to Shellshock, manual patching is no longer an option. Learn how to automate compliance with Datatilsynet regulations and harden your Norwegian VPS infrastructure using Ansible.
Docker is exploding in popularity, but standard configurations leave gaping security holes. We explore kernel isolation, Shellshock mitigation, and why running containers on KVM-based VPS is critical for Norwegian data compliance.
Containerization is revolutionizing deployment, but the security model in 2014 is still the Wild West. From Shellshock mitigation to kernel namespaces, here is how to run Docker securely on Norwegian infrastructure without exposing root.
