You can run a port scan and see which port is open. For example is your company didnt use FTP service and port21 is open. You may close or disable it.
4.Physical security. Would I be responcible for running the internal security department as in teh roaming security guards?
what i understand about physical security is that securing your server or workstation having physical contact by a intruders. If a intruders having a physical contact with the server he may just plug in a thumdrive and install a virus or something. to prevent this you may disable the use of USB.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
