Secure your network, NSA-style

If you’re nutso for network security, the NSA’s 60 Minute Network Security Guide PDF (yes, that NSA) should get your network up to brick wall status in – apparently – 60 minutes.

The guide, which checks in at just under 50 pages, is serious about airtight network security, urging you, for example, to enforce a password history of at least 24 different 12+ character passwords, swapping out passwords at least once every 90 days. The free PDF covers Windows and Unix security setups. If you give it a look, let us know how your network measures up to the NSA’s specifications in the comments. — Adam Pash
