Start with the minimum services you need. Do you really need all of the
above services? Signifcant objections to all the services listed can, and
have been been raised, from a security perspective. Following what has
been good practise by others I would reccommend CLEARLY defining a
security policy first, then concentrating on how best to acheive it in
hard/software. Management, security admins and end users must all
collaborate in defining what is needed, wanted, practical and essential.
Why do you need security?
What are you securing?
What services do you absolutely need?
What products exist that will meet your needs?
