Many IT departments use Internet Information Services (IIS) because they're so programmable. Yet programmability opens up security risks. This book teaches developers and administrators how to avoid security mistakes and known security vulnerabilities in IIS -- priceless, intimate facts about the underlying causes of past security incidents -- while showing the best ways to secure IIS in the real world. The expert author -- who has programmed and managed an IIS server farm since version 1 -- reveals knowledge from the trenches in this specialized security primer for IT professionals.
