It's Easy to Secure Windows 2000 Servers: Part 1
Configuring servers for security is an important part of mitigating risks to enterprise networks. Although Windows 2000 servers have a reputation for being notoriously insecure, if you take the time it is actually possible to lock them down so tightly that leading scanners will not even recognize that they are Windows servers. The best way to do this is to automate the security on your servers by using security templates, sometimes referred to as .inf files.

Security Certification and Accreditation 101
All federal agencies in the United States must have their IT systems and
infrastructure certified and accredited. Among industry experts, this
certification and accreditation process is more informally known as C&A. It
is a picayune process where auditors inspect reams of security documentation
on an agency's IT systems and infrastructure, and either pass them or fail
them.

Taking Patch Management to the Next Level
Without a doubt, one of the most tedious chores that network administrators must routinely perform is patch management. Hardly a week goes by that Microsoft doesn't release some sort of patch. It is the network administrator's responsibility to download the latest patches and apply them to all of the organization's computers. As tedious as patch management is though, it is one chore that really shouldn't be neglected. Not only do the various patches resolve security vulnerabilities, once a patch is released the specific vulnerability addressed by the patch is made public, making the vulnerability much more likely to be exploited on unpatched machines.

Learn the Basics of Handheld Security
Use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) continues to increase as new
applications become available for them on almost a daily basis. While the
PDA market has not grown as quickly in the last two years as it did in the
mid and late '90s, as the U.S. economy recovers, the market will likely get
a second wind. If your organization has not taken PDA security into
consideration previously, now is the time to do so. While PDA security is
often a forgotten piece of the security infrastructure, PDAs have the
ability to transmit and receive viruses, and can be exploited in numerous
ways.

Vulnerabilities and Threats 101
Vulnerabilities and threats pose on-going risks to enterprise networks.
Finding vulnerabilities on your systems and networks is the first step to
mitigating potentially extensive damage through network attacks. It is

have certain inherent security risks.

Assessing The Risks of E-Mail Fraud
Pretty much no one who uses E-mail is a stranger to fraudulent mail. My mailbox gets flooded with hundreds of fraudulent messages every single day. These messages promise everything from being able to lose ten pounds in ten minutes to making thousands of dollars a day with no effort. In fact, I once saw a rather humorous cartoon that said to imagine what life would be like if every SPAM that you received came true. The cartoon character was young, rich, well endowed, and was living a rather enviable life style.

Detecting Intrusions with your Firewall Log and OsHids
Many articles have been published about intrustion detection systems (IDSs), categories of IDSs (Network-Based, host-Based), IDS signatures, etc. But what I have noticed is that people always forget the basic methods of intrusion detection. They think that the only way to detect an attack is by using tools like Snort, Portsentry or any other commercial IDS. Actually, any device or software that is able to detect an attack (or system misuse) can be called an IDS.

Secure Coding Principles 101
Writing secure code is the first step in producing applications that are secure and robust. For custom applications that are already written, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, tools exist to audit for existing security deficiencies. Understanding the security vulnerabilities that exhibit themselves in existing products allows you to make better-informed decisions on patching and enables you to come up with other strategies to make these weak links in your infrastructure more secure.

Securing an Exchange Server by Limiting Mail Relay Use
One of the most important steps that you should take in securing an Exchange Server is to either disable or restrict the use of mail relay. In case you aren’t familiar with mail relay, it refers to the practice of passing a message through a server and rerouting it to its final destination. While there are some legitimate uses of the mail relay feature, mail relay tends to be heavily abused by spammers.
