Disadvantages of HTTPS

First because SSL operates below HTTP, hence it has no knowledge of high-level protocols, this implies that SSL can only present one certificate for a port combination. This makes it less feasible to use name-based virtual hosting with HTTPS.
Secondly since SSL does not prevent from being indexed by search engine (crawler) this still allows attackers to have access to public static content such ...

Several ways exist for ensuring security in a windows server environment and some of them include the following:

- Separating server roles: the more the roles a server performs, the more vulnerable it is to exploitation. It is recommendable to have different servers performing different roles rather than having one server performing all the roles. For instance, it is advisable to have dedicated servers for DNS and DHCP services separate from file server rather than having one server for all the services. Doing so also helps in the troubleshooting process since a server running minimal roles has minimal configuration.
- Using server core: Server core is a feature in windows server that does not entail a full graphical user interface. ...
