Started off by

  1. Enabling unattended updates
  2. Enable only ssh login with key
  3. Create user with sudo privileges
  4. Disable root login
  5. Enable ufw with necessary ports
  6. Disable ping
  7. Change ssh default port 21 to something else.

Got the ideas from networkchuck

Did this on the proxmox host as well as all VMs.

Any suggestions?

I just set up Wazuh at work and pointed it at a non-domain, vanilla Windows 11 machine to test and it came back with over 300 events immediately. Not trying to scare anyone off as I think it’s a great tool, more just a heads up that the rabbit hole runs very deep.
