Security is not an option. It's the standard.
Every AIST Cloud server is protected from DDoS. Every plan includes baseline protection. But real security isn't a single checkbox. It's a system.
The idea
Why security is not "later".
Most businesses think about security after an incident. After the site was hacked. After data leaked.
The problem is that "after" is very costly. Recovery, lost trust, possible legal fallout. And no one guarantees it won't happen again.
Security isn't a product you buy. It's a process. Daily. Ongoing. It determines whether you end up in the news as "the company that lost customer data" — or not.
What's included in every plan
DDoS Protection
Every VPS is protected from distributed attacks. Protection filters malicious traffic, allowing only real visitors. Included. No extra charge.
Isolation
Your VPS is isolated from others. A neighbor's issues don't become yours. Each server is a separate container with its own resources.
Snapshots
Take a snapshot — you have a restore point. If something went wrong after an update — roll back in seconds.
Managed Security
With Managed Services, security goes to the next level.
Firewall
Access rules. Only the ports you need are open. Everything else — closed. A simple principle that stops most automated attacks.
Suspicious activity monitoring
Someone brute-forcing passwords. Scanning ports. Sending suspicious API requests. We see it and respond — before it becomes a problem.
Security updates
Patches come out every day. We install updates regularly, at agreed times, with minimal impact on uptime.
Fail2ban
Automatic blocking of IPs with suspicious behavior. Third failed login — IP blocked. No action required from you.
Security audit (Premium)
Security audit — on request or as part of Premium Managed. Configuration check, open ports, access rights, software versions. Detailed report with recommendations.
Recommendations
What you can do yourself.
Strong passwords. Long, random, unique per service. A password manager helps.
SSH keys instead of passwords. More secure and convenient. Instructions in our docs.
Two-factor authentication. Everywhere it's available. Password + phone code — much harder to steal.
Regular backups. Even with Managed — having your own copy of critical data is never redundant.
Security starts with infrastructure.
