Key Takeaways IIS 8 makes it easier to prevent unwanted activity through Dynamic IP Restrictions IIS 8 reduces the attack surface for FTP brute-force/dictionary attacks CPU Throttling can be used to sand- box websites and prevent performance issues Application Initialization enhances your end-users’ website startup perceptions Session Objectives Learn how IIS 8 make it easier to secure your website and host secure sites Understand how IIS 8’s sand-boxing features isolate your websites and improve application responses Discover how IIS 8’s Application Initialization features improve application startup experience

Demo Dynamic IP Restrictions

IIS 8: FTP Logon Attempt Restrictions Dynamically blocks IP addresses that flood the server with failures Prevents script-kiddie and brute-force attacks IIS 7: FTP Static IP Filtering* Requires manually discovering and blocking known IP addresses Subject to brute-force attacks and password lockouts * Note: You should also implement strong password policies and account lockouts.

IIS 8: CPU Throttling Limits CPU usage per tenant: Throttling CPU usage Throttling under load Terminating an IIS worker process IIS 7: CPU Throttling Monitors for CPU use that exceeded specific threshold Allows terminating an IIS worker process

You manage a server, and you host multiple tenants Badly-written applications from some tenants might consume too many resources Well-written applications from other tenants might be starved for resources

Demo CPU Throttling Sand-boxing CPU Usage

Application Initialization is built-in for Windows Server 2012 Application Initialization was released as an out-of-band (OOB) project for IIS 7.5 Application Initialization Application Preload Application Start Mode

Allows the application decide how it will respond to requests received during the warm-up period Each application can define its own behavior IIS marks requests received during warm-up, and allows the application to change the startup experience

Feature existed in IIS 7, but is more useful in IIS 8 Allows pre-starting application pools instead of waiting for a first request

Allows an application to be initialized when the worker process starts Server administrator decides which applications should be preloaded New process and recycled process behave differently
