Practical Protection for Public Servers

Abstract

The protection of public servers presents a challenge due to their high level of exposure. We present a practical approach to protecting public servers based on experience within a defense research and development network. Although our defense-in-depth approach has proven effective in protecting public servers, we believe the protection posture can be further improved. We outline the areas in which these improvements can be made, and discuss areas such as logging, intrusion detection, event correlation and automated response that we have not yet fully addressed in practice.
