We have just begun working for a small company that has an existing SBS 2008 server environment.  Being new to server admin work is difficult and there is much to learn.  Our first priority is to make certain we have a secure server.  Is the a program we can run to test our security?  

Are there any programs we can use to test the security of our SBS 2008 environment?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
