Most people know that firewalls are important for keeping their home computer safe but they can also assist in keeping a dedicated server secure as well. Installing a firewall is not a 100% solution to your problems but it should reduce the risk of malicious attacks and will provide a greater level of security for your information.

Switches are also a great addition when trying to keep a dedicated server secure as they are able to filter, limit and prevent DDoS attacks and will also keep you informed of the presence of any DDoS attacks. Again, prevention should always be considered better than the cure and switches are a great way of improving your dedicate servers level of security, which is crucial in the current climate.
