Security nightmare

[Guest George]

Dear all,

 

First, please be paitient due to my inadequate knowledge in networks.

 

My company has a server (file server and print server with windows 2003

server) and also a proxy server for internet access (Linux). I have 8 users

logging on the server and also 3 workgroups (20 persons) which are not

logging into the server, but are using it for internet access.

 

I need to secure my network (I may consult an expert to do that, but I need

to know what I need first), so data will be secure and also in some cases

(users dealing with confidential information) the administrator not to be

able to see/read those confidential information.

 

From the little experience I have, I know that, using the ip address and the

hidden C (hard disk) of any connected PC I may gain access to any information

on that PC.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanking you in advance,

 

GeorgeCY

Re: Security nightmare

 

George,

The "Administrator" rights give full access. Anything else can be configured

to have less access. You have to start from there in your security design.

Although there are various ways to hide or audit access, in the end someone

must be at the top of the tree that controls those mechanisms too.

If security is a big concern then you probably do need to get someone to

design it for you, as you suggest,
