Securing Windows Server 2008 - Prevent Attacks from Outside and Inside Your Organization (Paperback)

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. According to IDC, Windows Server
runs 38% of all network servers. This market prominence also places
Windows Server at the top of the SANS top 20 Security Attach
Targets. The first five attack targets listed in the SANS top 20
for operating systems are related to Windows Server. This doesn't
mean that Windows is inherently less secure than other operating
systems; it's simply a numbers game. More machines running Windows
Server. More targets for attackers to hack.
As a result of being at the top of the "most used" and "most
hacked" lists, Microsoft has released a truly powerful suite of
security tools for system administrators to deploy with Windows
Server 2008. This book is the comprehensive guide needed by system
administrators and security professionals to master seemingly
overwhelming arsenal of new security tools including:
1.Network Access Protection, which gives administrators the power
to isolate computers that don't comply with established security
policies. The ability to enforce security requirements is a
powerful means of protecting the network.
2.Enhanced solutions for intelligent rules and policies creation to
increase control and protection over networking functions, allowing
administrators to have a policy-driven network.
3.Protection of data to ensure it can only be accessed by users
with the correct security context, and to make it available when
hardware failures occur.
4.Protection against malicious software with User Account Control
with a new authentication architecture.
5.Increased control over your user settings with Expanded Group
Policy.
...to name just a handful of the new security features. In short,
Windows Server 2008 contains by far the most powerful and complex
suite of security tools ever released in a Microsoft Server
product. Securing Windows Server 2008 provides system
administrators and security professionals with the knowledge they
need to harness this power.
