Hardening NXLog Agent

There are additional measures you can implement on top of the standard NXLog Agent installation to ensure your agents are running in the most secure way.

The security measures you can take depend on the operating system that NXLog Agent runs on:

  • Hardening NXLog Agent on Linux

  • Hardening NXLog Agent on Windows

Docker Hardening on Linux
