Are my security measures adequate?
Quick background for me is that im 18, love computer and currently the tech support for my family(close and extended), neighbors, family friends, etc etc. While I dont have the strictest policies I do try to keep my home network along with anyones computer i work on non-infected.
Some of my scheduled task are:
- Nightly backups to a WHS box.
- Nightly full system virus scans (Avast! home) on all desktops and the WHS. Laptops dont have scheduled taskes but my WHS warns me if i dont do either after a week.
- Automatic updates on Avast and Windows/linux(gentoo based so not completely automatic)
And general precautions:
- My servers(except WHS) are on a different subnet as my desktops.
- Servers are all linux except 1 and ssh is on non standard port with ssh only via keys
- Servers also do mail and that is scanned for viruses
- Router's UPnP is disabled, default password changed
- Only needed ports are forwarded
- Wifi clients can't communicate with desktops except for WHS.
I know this isnt completely Win7 related but i do have a few machines running it. i listen to a few security podcasts because they are interesting to me but I don't think im overly paranoid(no pseudo-random 265bit passwords).
Do you guys have any extra suggestions for me to do? Does windows7 introduce any "features" i should be on the lookout for?
