Introduction

Web server security (IIS server), website security, and application security can be used to configure an IIS server to protect itself and the website.

The following are the security options available in IIS server:

  • Machine key
  • Authentication
  • Authorization rule
  • IP address and domain restrictions
  • ISAPI and CGI restrictions
  • Server certificate
  • Request filtering
  • IIS Manager permissions and IIS Manager users
  • NTFS permissions

We can install and configure security components on an IIS server for our website or web application that needs secure hosting.
