Gartner recommends Apache, iPlanet

The Gartner Group, an IT thinktank, is recommending companies hit by Code Red, Nimda and various other IIS-targeted worms investigate using other http servers, including Apache.

Who knows? Perhaps next week, they'll recommend mod_perl .

The news.com article mentions:

Gartner recommends that businesses hit by both Code Red and Nimda immediately investigate alternatives to IIS, including moving Web applications to Web server software from other vendors such as iPlanet and Apache. Although those Web servers have required some security patches, they have much better security records than IIS and are not under active attack by the vast number of virus and worm writers.
