Hi There!

I'm using Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 for my ASP.NET website.

What programs do I need on my server to secure my web server 99%? I've got
ZoneAlarm on my web server. However, I'm sure I need much more than just a
firewall, to prevent attacks such as Denial of Service, hackers, data
theft...etc.

So I would like to know if you guys can point me out the security programs
that a web server must have?

And thinking out of the square, should I install hardware firewall? If so,
which are the good ones? Please advice!

Many thanks in advance!!

David
