I’ve just spun up a new Ubuntu VPS and want to lock it down properly before deploying any sites or apps. What steps, tools, and configurations do you always apply e.g. SSH hardening, firewall rules, intrusion prevention, automatic updates to ensure a secure baseline?

Concrete examples or scripts are welcome!
