security of a new redhat 7.3 install

Great.

Thanks for the speedy reply. 

Just not quite sure what you mean by ' making sure the updates
repository is enabled'? Do you mean automatic updates?

Thanks,
 Yon

We archived all the Red Hat provided updates, so using our mirror and
making sure the updates repository is enabled, you will be updated with
as much as we have done.  We have a longer lead time on security updates
so there is a possibility that you could still be vulnerable.
