Securing your OS for MySQL with JeOS

Do you have a full time System Administrator? Do you have only a part-time SA, or none at all?

Packet General’s Data Security and PCI Compliance solutions run on a dedicated appliance, based on a “Just Enough Operating System” (JeOS) to minimize exposure.

This appliance actually improves not just the security of your data, but ensures your Operating System is secure and up to date. With only 4 services and a footprint < 600MB this is an ideal solution for running even a normal MySQL installation. Security upgrades can also be provided as an automated feature, eliminating the need for this management internally.

Tomorrow in the MySQL Webinar How to secure MySQL data and achieve PCI compliance which is being held Thursday, September 11, 2008, 10:00 am PST, 1:00 pm EST, 18:00 GMT we will be discussing this in more detail.
