Need help in securing your web servers? If so, you might want to take a look at a draft paper released by the National Institute of Standards (NIST) entitled Guidelines on Securing Public Web Servers, written by Miles Tracy, Wayne Jansen, Karen Scarfone, and Theodore Winograd.

The publication is intended to help organizations in the installation, configuration, and maintenance of secure public Web servers. It presents recommendations for securing Web server operating systems, applications, and content; protecting Web servers through the supporting network infrastructure; and administering Web servers securely. It also makes suggestions on using authentication and encryption technologies to protect information.
