Introduction: Server Security — The First Line of Defense
Once you deploy any server or virtual machine, one of the first and most important tasks is ensuring its security. Even if your server doesn’t contain critical data, it can still be targeted by automated bots constantly scanning the internet for vulnerabilities. The most common type of attack against any server is brute-force password guessing, typically aimed at SSH access, FTP services, or web control panels.

What is KVM?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a virtualization technology built directly into the Linux kernel. KVM transforms the Linux kernel into a Type 1 hypervisor (bare-metal), allowing multiple virtual machines to run while leveraging hardware virtualization features of the CPU (Intel VT-x and AMD-V). KVM serves as a core component for many modern cloud platforms, including OpenStack and Red Hat OpenShift.
As part of Linux, KVM is a fully open-source solution, giving developers and system administrators enormous freedom and control over their infrastructure with zero licensing fees.

Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is a powerful and flexible open-source virtualization platform that allows you to manage virtual machines and containers through a single web interface. Proxmox VE is based on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system and uses the KVM hypervisor for full virtualization and LXC for lightweight containerization. Its key advantage is versatility and ease of management, making it a popular choice for both home labs and small to medium-sized businesses.

What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is a technology that allows the creation of virtual versions of resources such as servers, operating systems, storage, or networks. It makes it possible to run multiple “virtual machines” (VMs) on a single physical server. Each VM operates as a fully independent computer with its own operating system and applications, while sharing the physical resources of the underlying hardware.
The key component of virtualization is the hypervisor. A hypervisor is software that creates and manages virtual machines, distributing the host machine’s physical resources (CPU time, RAM, disk space, and network interfaces) among them.
