Hello,

I am planning to setup a WSUS server to manage the updates for my environment without end devices being connected to VPN.

I would like to know the best practice to secure the server as it will be internet facing and allow only the coporate devices to receive the updates.

Could you help me on how to secure the WSUS server and ensure that unauthorised people do not try to perform attacks among other malicious things?

Thank you.
