The Ultimate Network Security Checklist

gfisoftware:

Working on your network security? Check.

How about a simple list you could follow, broken down by category, which includes some tips and tricks for getting the job done?

Here it is – The Ultimate Network Security Checklist; a document that provides you with the areas of information security you should focus on, along with specific settings or recommended practices that will help you to secure your environment against threats from within and without.

Using this checklist as a starting point and working with the rest of your IT team, your management, human resources, and your legal counsel, you will be able to create the ultimate network security checklist for your specific environment. That’s an important distinction; business requirements, regulatory and contractual obligations, local laws, and other factors will all have an influence on your company’s specific network security checklist, so don’t think all your work is done. You’ll need to tweak this to suit your own environment, but rest assured the heavy lifting is done!
