Protect Your Windows Network: From Perimeter to Data

  • Ensure the software on all your desktops and servers with the latest service packs and updates.

  • Implement a plan for regular updates, and automate it as much as possible.

  • Deploy antivirus and anti-spyware on all your computers. Enable host-based firewalls.

  • Physically secure your servers. A locked room is best; heavy cables are better than nothing.

  • Plan for rolling out roaming profiles and folder redirection (with offline folders) so that client computers can be rebuilt with ease.

  • Upgrade your wireless networking to WPA.

  • Change all your passwords to pass phrases.

  • Implement a backup plan; don't forget to regularly test the media.

  • Write an Internet acceptable use policy and have all your employees sign it.
