Securing Services Infrastructure

Abstract

Securing critical service infrastructure has grown essential as cyber threats, system tampering, and illegal alterations continue to escalate. The goal of this project is to create a system that uses OpenSUSE Server’s AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) to monitor, validate, and identify unauthorized changes in order to protect essential operating system functions. The system implements cryptographic integrity checks, scheduled verification, secure baseline construction, and alert-based reporting to ensure that critical files remain uncompromised. A dedicated admin panel provides visibility into scan results, system health status, and validation logs. This project increases infrastructure security by ensuring early detection of file modification threats, configuration tampering, and integrity breaches. The suggested approach provides a practical foundation for intrusion detection, secure configuration management, and enterprise level infrastructure security
