How to effectively secure a dedicated server for intranet use?
- by Mark
I need to secure a dedicated server for intranet use, the server is managed so will have software based security, but what other security should be considered for enterprise level security?
The intranet is a host for an ECM (Alfresco) managing and storing sensitive documents. As the information is sensitive we are trying to make it as secure as reasonably possible (requirement in UK law). We plan to encrypt the data on the database. It will be connected to via SSL encryption. Should we consider Hardware firewall, Private lan between the application server and database server?
