Yes. Install an SSL certificate on the web server, and have the consumers
use https in the url of the service.

There are plenty of options, ranging from passing username/password
combination in web method parameters or soap headers, IIS authentication
features, to WS-Security in WSE. You will need to do a bit of research to
find out which is best suited for your requirements.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/security/default.aspx can get
you started.

If your web methods access a shared resource, then you will need to write
code to do it in thread-safe manner.
