Application security options

You have some options to manage the security risks for a number of popular Internet applications and services.

Application level security measures control how users can interact with specific applications. In general, you must configure security settings for each application that you use. However, you need to take special care to set up security for those applications and services that you will use from or provide to the Internet. These applications and services are vulnerable to misuse by unauthorized users looking for a way to gain access to your network systems. The security measures that you use need to include both server-side and client-side security exposures.

Though it is important to secure each application that you use, the security measures play a small part in your overall security policy implementation.
