Configuring Enterprise Security

Abstract

Computer security is one issue that routinely makes the news and keeps administrators busy. Particularly when managing web servers, security needs to be a constant theme because of the increased vulnerability of systems connected to the Internet. Failure to properly secure your system will, sooner or later (probably sooner), result in someone getting into it. If you’re “lucky,” the hacker will just snoop around. If the hacker is criminal or malicious, he can steal your data, rob your company and customers, use your system as a launching pad for attacking other systems, and ultimately corrupt or destroy your system.
