Checklists and Resources for Setting up a Secure Server

In recent years Penn Information Security has provided site-licensed copies of the "Step-By-Step" Guides from the SANS Institute for securing the major operating systems, however, we no longer are licensing them. In their place we are recommending that support providers and system administrators make use of the excellent tools and checklists (most of them free) available from the Center for Internet Security at their website: www.cisecurity.org.

Even though the SANS Step-By-Step Guides are no longer available at Penn, the SANS website www.sans.org remains an excellent source of information, white papers, etc.
