Overview Security is as much about policing and good practice as it is about using secure products. Internet service providers (ISPs) are on the cutting edge of developing security practice because their operations rely on exposing systems and services in a way that most companies do not. From remote access server (RAS) terminals to Web servers, ISPs expose different services on different hardware to different users whose connection, access, and usage rights must all be set, authenticated, and enforced. To discover best practices for managing and policing all these variables, Microsoft Service Providers asked Trey Internet (we've changed their name and distinguishing information to protect them) to detail the security checklist they use for their all-Windows platform. This list separates actions by their frequency -- some actions are constant; others are performed daily, weekly, or monthly. Use the checkboxes to compare your security practice with Trey Internet's recommendations.
