This paper documents the steps that were taken by me to increase the security within my firm's computer network system, a system that includes Windows XP workstations and Windows 2000 Server systems. The implementation process includes enhancements to internal firm policies and procedures as a result of and in response to an updated firm risk assessment. Recent legislative activities in the State of California regarding the privacy of names and social security numbers maintained within network computer systems dictated a self-imposed review of our current security practices. The network in my firm was previously set up when "legacy" business applications required and needed more access to the registry of the attached workstations. As is the case, typical business applications that are written for a specific industry are trailing in their use and application of securely written code.
