Urgent Server Security Troubleshooting

My production server—outside the usual web-, database-, or mail-server setups—has shown clear signs of a security breach. I need an experienced professional who can jump in quickly, trace the intrusion, repair any damage, and leave the box hardened against repeat events. Here’s what I’m expecting: • Full incident investigation: locate the point of entry, identify affected services or files, and detail the attacker’s footprint. • Immediate remediation: close the vulnerability, clean or restore compromised components, and get the server fully operational again. • Hardening & prevention: apply best-practice security patches, tighten configurations, and set up real-time monitoring or alerts if gaps are found. • Post-incident report: concise write-up of findings, actions taken, and recommendations for ongoing security hygiene. The environment is currently accessible via SSH with sudo privileges, and I can provide logs, config files, or additional details on request. Turnaround needs to be fast, and clear communication throughout the process is essential.
