Securing Internal Networks
By John Mueller and Tom Sheldon

Microsoft Internet Information Server 4: The Complete Reference

First, a disclaimer. If you plan to connect an internal network to a Web server that's also connected to the Internet, you need to take security precautions to keep hackers from attacking your network. This chapter doesn't provide a complete solution for protecting your system. (If I knew all the answers to making a computer system invulnerable, I'd be working for the CIA.) Instead, this chapter is designed to lead you down the path to security enlightenment. It points out security problems and provides some potential solutions, but these solutions may not work at some installations or may be ineffective because of existing network or Internet connections. Your job is to study the risks involved and find solutions that match your own needs.
