Is there an encryption for dedicated servers that can not be cracked through keyloggers or trojans by the data center personnel?
 

Thanks in advance for helping me out :)!

Here are certain ways to protect your dedicated server against security breaches.

  • Update your server from time to time to avoid a scenario of outdated software
  • Implement security updates and patches
  • Use DDoS protection and secure hosting
  • Carry out malware scans regularly
  • Use trustworthy networks only and lock the ports to IP addresses
  • Eliminate root access
  • Modify the default port numbers
  • Do not install needless software or plugins
  • Don’t forget to remove unused software
  • Create separate accounts for different users and enforce a strict password policy

Hi!

No encryption method can guarantee complete protection against keyloggers or trojans, especially if the data center personnel have access to the server. The best way to ensure the security of data on a dedicated server is to use encryption in combination with other security measures, such as two-factor authentication, regular software updates, and monitoring of system logs for unusual activity.

Remember that TrueCrypt is discontinued, so consider alternative encryption programs such as VeraCrypt or BitLocker. As for protecting against keyloggers or Trojans, this can be tricky because data center personnel will have physical access to the server. One option is to use full disk encryption and require a password at boot, but even then, someone could install a hardware keylogger. If you're worried about security, consider using a VPS instead of a dedicated server. Using ishosting vps gives you more control over the server and its security because you're not sharing physical hardware with other users. I wish you good luck and all the best.
