Default Security

Not sure where is the best area to place this so I'll put it in the lounge. I am starting to do some reasearch on security. It seems their are two areas to look at. (1) the host and (2) your software.

As far as the software, I am running vbulletin 3.6.8 patch level 1 and I guess the primary security is my admin password and making sure that is private and changed on a regular basis and other things that I can learn from Vbulletin.com

As far as HIC, what can I do to make sure my site is sucure from hackers and attacks from misc weirdo's

In terms of VBulletin Patch 1 - you may want to update to patch 2 (since its out). Server security is pretty tight on your box, so you should be fine.
