Web server defense drafted

By Diane Frank, FCW, 3/5/02
<a href="http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0304/web-nist-03-04-02.asp">http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0304/web-nist-03-04-02.asp>

Tackling one of the prime targets on a network for cyberattacks, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology released a draft of its
new guidance on securing public Web servers March 1.

The draft special publication is intended for technical personnel, as
it contains detailed guidance and checklists on how to configure the
Web server itself, as well as the underlying operating system and
security products, such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

The guide also covers security administration procedures for Web
servers, including logging, backup, recovery, testing and remote
administration.

In the appendices, the guide outlines the steps to secure the two most
commonly used Web servers, the open-source Apache server and Microsoft
Corp.'s Internet Information Server.

Comments on the draft are due to Wayne Jansen (<a href="mailto:jansen@nist.gov?Subject=Re:%20(ai)%20Web%20server%20defense%20drafted%2526In-Reply-To=%2526lt;200203060150.g261obJ21317@smtpsrv2.mitre.org">jansen@nist.gov</a>)
