OpenSSH Server
OpenSSH has an adequate security policy by default on newer systems, but there are additional measures you can take.
Ubuntu 22.04+
Create a file to store your secure settings
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/hardening.conf
Add the following lines
KexAlgorithms sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com,curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,gss-curve25519-sha256-,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,gss-group16-sha512-,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256

And restart OpenSSH
systemctl restart sshdRHEL and derivatives 8+ (RockyLinux, AlmaLinux, CloudLinux)
Create a file to store your secure settings
nano /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensshserver.config
Add the following line

nano systemctl restart sshd
OpenSSH Client
