An Overview of SecureIIS - Are We Really Secured Now? (PDF, 1.84MB)Published: 18 Sep, 2001

Zul Suhaimi

The objective of this practical paper is to understand how our IIS can be protected using an application firewall. There are many application firewalls available on the market - commercial and free/shareware such as eSafe, BlackIce, ZoneAlarm, and Norton Firewall to name a few. This paper, hopefully, will assist system administrators and organizations in making decision to protect their web servers.
