The Big Security Picture

The operating system itself is just a small contributor to

your Web server's security posture. If you (or your provider)

don't consider the full environment, then it doesn't

matter which operating system you use--you can't reasonably

expect to maintain security. At a minimum, your total security

effort should include the following steps:

• Create and follow a security policy, a document describing

  what system usage or activities are acceptable or not acceptable,

  and under what conditions.

• Use your most trustworthy staff to maintain your servers.

• Maintain your server’s physical protection from

  tampering and environmental hazards.

• Develop comprehensive written administrative procedures

  and follow them.

• Monitor security status with software tools (auditing,

  scanning, intrusion detection, and so on).

• Perform periodic security reviews, preferably by a

  neutral party.
