📅 - DDPlus (ddplus.co.uk), a UK-based security company announced last week the release of a security guide containing a solution for long-standing security problems faced by ISPs currently providing shared Web hosting services on the Windows platform.
According to the company, shared hosting environments using Microsoft Windows 2000 with IIS 5.0 and FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 are particularly vulnerable. The guide aims to help ISPs and IIS administrators by providing technical solutions, methodologies, and step-by-step explanations on how to build secure IIS 5.0 servers. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the code included in the report, DDPlus only intends to provide the guide to named security contacts within ISPs and a limited number of companies that manage IIS 5.0 servers within their organization. DDPlus is a UK-based security company focused on the small and medium-sized enterprise market.
