Hello -- Apache is a pretty secure service by default. The two primary ways to keep Apache and it's applications secure are:

  1. Keep Apache up to date with any security updates

  2. Keep all your web applications up to date

The majority of security breaches I see are by people or bots breaking into web applications that aren't up to date. A lot of folks install their applications, then forget about them.

So, the best thing I can offer is to make sure all the apps on your server are fully up to date.
