[Veritas-bu] Security of Veritas Backup Server
2002-07-17 15:08:23
Ok, security of all servers is important. But, what I want to know is
how important is the security of the Veritas Backup Server? If someone
hacked that server, would they not then have access to all our servers?
Corrollary: Suppose the Veritas Backup Server is a new Windows 2000
server. Suppose further that the NT servers in this environment have
been either directly hacked or seriously damaged by worms, etc. at least
a half dozen times in the last year or two. Suppose further that the
Unix servers have been secure without incident for almost three years.
Would you consider it to be a serious security concern to allow the
Windows Veritas Server to backup the Unix servers?
What steps would you take to ensure security if such an arrangement were
forced on you?
