Yes - Defense-in-Depth. Unless, of course, you aren't going to keep the A/V
sigs up to date, then don't waste your time.

Subject: Anti-Virus on web facing servers??

Hello, I just started with a company that has three
web facing W2K servers running IIS & SQL.

My question; they are patched and behind a firewall
but have no Anti-Virus running - can I get some feedback
on whether these boxes should be running AV??

They are on a network at a COLO just by themselves
ie: no desktops but get FTP uploads regularly for
content.

Thanks
