“Hardened kernel with stack protection” doesn’t mean much if you can’t explain why it’s in place, or how it works.
I’ve been in IT 25 years and security for 15 years, and the number one failure of implemented security is doing it because someone said you need it.

Yep, absolutely the right move to ask here, lots of us learn through conversation. I think youre on the right track.
