Derik, I agree completely with your assessment. One suggestion, however, is that you might change your approach. In addition to quoting best practices, etc... you might want to discuss specific and distinct vulnerabilities, threats, and risks. Of course, if you can, specify a bottom-line dollar impact -- that always gets the attention of management. But mimimally, you might have better luck if you talk about what happens if an IIS buffer-overflow is used and someone compromises the server... and how likely is that to happen (e.g. would someone target you for corporate espionage, could a virus put you at risk, etc.) I'll let you take it from there. Good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
