EXPERT RESPONSE
Here are five commonly overlooked security issues I see all the time after someone has set up a Microsoft Windows network:
- Didn't enable Windows automatic updates
- Didn't harden the system based on Microsoft's recommendations and others such as those at the Center for Internet Security website
- Didn't set up a password policy
- Did set up a ridiculously stringent password policy that's unreasonably difficult for users to work with
- Didn't set up NTFS file permissions properly, which allows anyone to access anything and create shares at will
