Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0
Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 is a complete and powerful Web server providing a highly reliable, manageable and scalable Web application infrastructure for all versions of Windows Server 2003. Designed for intranets, the Internet, and extranets, IIS 7.0 makes it possible for organizations of all sizes to quickly and easily deploy powerful Web sites and applications.
A Microsoft Gold Partner for Security Solutions, CMS is excited by the security improvements introduced in version 7.0 of IIS. Web servers running IIS 7.0 are locked down by default, limiting the attack surface through aggressive security defaults. Web Service Extensions, which prohibits any executable from running unless it is specifically allowed, makes it very difficult for a attacker to launch malicious applications on the server. In addition, there are many important security related improvements including rigorous html parsing standards, new server logs and status codes to facilitate troubleshooting web applications, and the ability to change worker process identity from the user interface.
