Secure OWA setup !!!

I have a IIS 5.0 box and I just installed the OWA on it
for Exchange 5.5. I am trying to find the best way to
secure this connection over an internet since I have to
open a port from my firewall to the IIS 5.0 box for OWA
access. Any suggestions doing this the right way?

Thank you.

The best way to secure OWA is to buy a certificate and force SSL. You only
have to open port 443 to the OWA box, and all traffic will be encrypted.
There are other things that you can do such as running IIS Lockdown Tool.
