- [Managed Linux servers](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/linux-betreuung/)

The IT security check, the external analysis and emergency help are available to every company.

## Our focus

**Sensitive data or critical systems. Either way, nothing may go wrong.**

That is why we build every server the same way: hardened, monitored, with a backup nobody can delete. Even for the small practice.

[How we build servers](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/)

## Why vetosec

- [**A break-in stays contained.**](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/linux-haertung/): Hardened Linux servers: every service is locked in, measured against the CIS Benchmark. With a report for insurers and NIS2.
- [**No licence trap.**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/proxmox-cluster/): Open source where it fits. Proxmox instead of VMware, no lock-in to a vendor or to us.
- [**Back fast.**](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/linux-betreuung/): Everything is automated. A fully hardened server is ready in 15 minutes, with firewall, SELinux and CIS check.
- [**We find what others miss.**](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/rootkit-analyse/): Linux knowledge down to the kernel. When a server acts strangely, we know where to look.
- [**We only do security and operations.**](https://vetosec.at/en/about/): Securing servers, running them, helping in an emergency. That is our specialisation.

## What we run

Real systems running for clients. Hosted with you or in the EU.

- [**Company cloud**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/managed-nextcloud/): Share files like with Dropbox. The data stays with you or in the EU, and anyone guessing passwords gets blocked.
- [**One login for everything**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/single-sign-on/): One sign-in for every app, confirmed on the phone. When someone leaves, you lock one account.
- [**Server cluster**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/proxmox-cluster/): Several servers covering for each other. If one fails, everything keeps running.
- [**Backup**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/backup/): Backed up every night, one copy offsite that nobody can delete. We test that restoring works.

Also: [File server instead of NAS](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/fileserver/), [Work from home safely](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/fernzugriff-vpn/), [Firewall](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/firewall/), [File invoices automatically](https://vetosec.at/en/services/automation/)

## Typical situations

Why companies come to us.

- [**"We do not know how secure we are."**](https://vetosec.at/en/services/it-check/): We come by and check. In two weeks you have a list of what to do.
- [**"Our server is old."**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/fileserver/): New hardware is not always worth it. If it is, we move without downtime.
- [**"We type in every invoice."**](https://vetosec.at/en/services/automation/): Invoices are collected, named and filed automatically.
- [**"Clients ask for evidence."**](https://vetosec.at/en/services/gap-analysis/): We prepare you for NIS2, ISO 27001 and GDPR and implement the technology.
- [**"VMware got too expensive."**](https://vetosec.at/en/solutions/proxmox-cluster/): Move to Proxmox, machine by machine, with a way back.
- [**"A server is acting strangely."**](https://vetosec.at/en/servers/rootkit-analyse/): We check whether someone broke in, deep into the system.
- [**"We were hacked."**](https://vetosec.at/it-notfall/): Help right away: stop the damage, secure evidence, get back to work.
