Providing Secure Access to SharePoint 2003 Sites

A number of factors must be considered to ensure that the user community has a positive experience with the new SharePoint 2003 environment and that it offers the appropriate level of security. There is no “one size fits all” solution for Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 implementations. One of the main goals of the design process is to determine what mechanisms and strategies will be used to ensure that data is secure, while being available to the internal and external users who require access to it. Performance must be kept in mind as well; excessive security features may result in unacceptably difficult access to site collections and the data contained in them.
