In lieu of securing the actual box, we put a firewall (running linux/unix) in front of it. Then, we use a simple approach of "that which is not expressly allowed, is expressly denied" in our policies, and voila. Secured.

Just for the record, this was written in Outlook, and sent out via a secured system, that happens to run a Microsoft OS.
