There are a few things that have to be done to optimize the security of the system.
Here are a few of the sources used:

## Cmdline
There are a lot of kernel settings which can be passed to the command line to make a system more secure.

## Entropy
Improve the security of the system by improving the entropy and thus randomness. Install `jitterentropy-library`:
```
# apk add jitterentropy-library

And create a config file in `/usr/lib/modules-load.d/jitterentropy.conf` so that the kernel module gets loaded:
