Applying Additional Security

Always apply the latest operating system upgrades and service releases.

Install a Cisco-verified antivirus program on all servers.

Cisco strongly recommends that you install Cisco Security Agent to protect your servers against unauthorized intrusion. Refer to the Cisco Security Agent documentation. See Table 2 on page 5.

If you plan to install Cisco Unified CallManager, you can install the Cisco Unified CallManager OS Optional Security settings. For more information, refer to C:\Utils\SecurityTemplates\CCM-OS-OptionalSecurity-Readme.htm.
