An organization’s servers provide a wide variety of services to internal and external users, and many servers also store or process sensitive information for the organization. Some of the most common types of servers are Web, email, database, infrastructure management, and file servers. Servers are frequently targeted by attackers because of the value of their data and services. For example, a server might contain personally identifiable information that could be used to perform identity theft. This publication addresses the general security issues of typical servers.
