Windows 2003 includes a host of security features that dramatically
improves the Windows security posture. However, these new features
add a level of complexity that needs to be well understood by
those responsible for evaluating its effectiveness. This seminar
will outline the steps necessary to ensure that Windows 2003 servers
are configured securely. The seminar will address general principles
and concepts, as well as the detailed technical implementations
and configuration settings related to securing and controlling
a Microsoft server. The seminar will also provide “how to”
instruction on accessing the control-related settings, files,
and other information required to perform an effective risk assessment.
