Microsoft Security
Securing Windows Server
Microsoft hails the latest version of its flagship server operating system, Windows Server 2008, as "the most secure Windows Server ever". However, to fully achieve this lofty status, system administrators and security professionals must install, configure, monitor, log, and troubleshoot a dizzying array of new features and tools designed to keep the bad guys out and maintain the integrity of their network servers. This is no small task considering the market saturation of Windows Server and the rate at which it is attacked by malicious hackers. Windows Server 2008 contains by far the most powerful and complex suite of security tools ever released in a Microsoft Server product.
With the release of a powerful suite of security to deploy with Windows Server 2008 our 3-day training workshop provides system administrators and security professionals with the knowledge they need to harness this power.
