| It is a combination of auditing logs, running vulnerability scans, and good security practices.
You can use a scanning tool such as hackerguardian to do a remote scan, but that only shows part of the picture. There are always security concerns from applications or internally on your server.

| I would also check the host/provider. Many neglect their servers to the point multiple client accounts are compromised although as a customer you do take all necessary precautions. If you check the webserver, ftp, mailserver etc logs you can get a pretty good picture what's going on.

| The tip to good security is IDS (intrusion detection). You can always run updates, but the trick is to know when something has changed or something is not right. For example: one trick is to use nmap and scan your networks looking for open ports. If you find a port open that should be closed then you know you have a problem.
