Depending on the ports you open, this will have a big impact on your risk. Some ports and services are jucier than others. What ports will you be opening up? A few items for your reference to ensure your Windows based boxes are up-to-date. As others have mentioned, make sure your firewall is watched, strong passwords (8 chars minimum with upper and lower case, numbers and symbols). Review your logs regularly and check for the IP address origination. I would also mention that you UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ON YOUR FIREWALL AND OTHER DEVICES ON YOUR NETWORK TO MINIMIZE RISK.

All the best,
