The aim of the Microsoft Security Tool Kit is to help customers protect their systems from common and dangerous threats that they are likely to encounter on the Internet. The Security Tool Kit includes tools that provide a baseline level of security for servers that are connected to the Internet. It also includes security patches for vulnerabilities that the Microsoft Security Response Center has determined to be of potentially high severity for systems that are connected to the Internet.

Customers who are concerned about the threat from users internal to their organization - users who may be "inside" the organization's firewall - will need to take additional steps in configuring their systems and might need to install additional security patches. Such organizations' choices will be guided by their own security policies.
