### Recommendations
**Block external access at the network boundary, unless external parties require service.**
Filter access to the affected computer at the network boundary if global access isn't required. Restricting access to only trusted computers and networks might greatly reduce the likelihood of a successful exploit.
**Deploy network intrusion detection systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity.**
Deploy NIDS to detect and block attacks and anomalous activity. Review logs from network devices regularly.
**Run all software as a nonprivileged user with minimal access rights.**
Run all server software in a closed or restricted environment such as chroot or jail to limit the consequences of a successful exploit.
**Permit privileged access for trusted individuals only.**
Allow privileged access to software and resources to known and trusted individuals only.
