Is Windows security an afterthought?

As the editor of SearchWindowsSecurity.com, I often speak with users about their Windows security responsibilities. One senior systems analyst in particular sent me an interesting note recently… To give you some background, he’s in charge of configuring and administering desktop systems (primarily Win2000 and XP)for a large company, and he developed many of the security policies and procedures in place for those desktops. However, even with those seemingly important tasks on his plate, he said he took over Windows security only because no one else had.

He specifically said: “I ended up taking over the security functions because no one else was looking after them. I’ve learned a lot (enough to know there’s so much more to learn), earned my CISSP and started specializing in MS Windows security. I never really set out to do that though.”

Does this sound familiar to you? Were you recently or temporarily assigned Windows security responsibilities because they weren’t being handled? Did you choose to take over Windows security on your own? How long have you been working at it, or plan to?

Any feedback is appreciated. I will include comments in a story for SearchWindowsSecurity.com. I’m just trying to get a sense of how people got into the Windows security field, how long they’ve been in charge of securing Windows systems and if they plan to stay there.

You may contact me publicly or privately. Thanks for your time and attention!

Best regards,

I’ve been hacked — I think….

I’m an IT administrator with a little over 500 end users, running Windows 2000 and XP. One of our users is experiencing a problem with her Internet connection suddenly dropping for no apparent reason. When she restarts her computer, everything works fine for awhile, but then the connection drops again. The funny thing is, she’s noticed that her AOL Instant Messenger service still works even when she can’t access her e-mail. We’ve already run Netstat and noticed that more unknown open connections are being used to certain ports. This particular user has a laptop and works from home frequently, so we’re not sure all updates have been installed.
Has her computer been hacked? If so, what can I do initially to contain the damage, and what steps can I take to prevent such occurrences in the future?
