Foundation Level 1 Hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (ARM)

This Red Hat 9 virtual machine image is fully preconfigured with Foundation Security's Level 1 hardening framework and deploys in minutes. It eliminates the weeks of manual security configuration typically required with a baseline operating system and delivers a thoroughly tested secure foundation out of the box

Foundation Level 1 is our in-house security baseline, developed by our team of compliance and security experts to protect workloads from common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It applies hundreds of security controls and system hardening measures across authentication, permissions, logging, and network configuration to ensure a strong security posture from the moment the instance launches. Unlike generic images, this hardened image reduces the risk of misconfiguration, accelerates secure deployment, and provides a consistent and repeatable environment for production workloads.

Foundation Security images are updated regularly to stay ahead of evolving security threats and to maintain alignment with our latest hardening recommendations. This offering is ideal for organizations that want an enterprise-grade secure baseline without the complexity of managing a compliance framework themselves.

Foundation Security has a team of industry experts with deep knowledge of security and compliance regulations, ensuring every image is built and maintained to the highest standards.

The team also provides ongoing support to help customers maintain a strong security posture over time.
