What are you protecting?
Are your systems physically secure?
If you don't have physical control of the box, it reduces the effectiveness of your logical defenses.
Is your data important or irreplacable?
For instance, financial records, classified data, etc?
Is your machine on the Internet?
You are vulnerable to scriptkiddies as well as others.
Static IP addresses are more vulnerable than dynamic. Cablemodems/DSL are worse. There is no external security An advantage to dialup links is that they are slow and security denies the instant gratification that immediate break-ins give.
