-- simple answer...
- apply all the rootkits against your firewalls/routers
- generally... in summary...
- what is your "security policy"... who can do what to which machens
- what is your backup methodology for your "data" you cannot lose
- how long do youhave to get back online if it is hacked
- what are you protecting against and from whom
( outside on the net or the 80% of attacks from the inside )
- runnng nmap is nice..tell you that sendmail/exim is listening to port 25
but what ya gonna do ??? you cant turn it off ??? ( apache on port
80 ..etc )
- you need to check that all the apps running on the port
is the lastest version w/ no known vulnerability
- assume that they hacked thru your firewall...
now what???
- what is the budget and process and proceedures for security...
- protecting the firewall.. protecting data... protecting users
so tha they can work regardless of any pending hacked servers
