Complete Windows Security

Prepare for a 3-day mind meld with well-known Windows security expert Randy Franklin Smith. In this intensive seminar Windows security expert Randy will share his in-depth knowledge on how each Windows security technology works, how to plug the holes, how to solve real world security problems, what works and what doesn't. This course will take anyone with a basic understanding of Windows administration to being a Windows Security Expert in just three days of intense training.

  • Windows Server 2003, XP, 2000 & NT
  • Active Directory,
  • Group Policy, VPNs, Wireless, Auditing, Patching
  • Nuts and Bolts With Real World Application

 

Enterprise-Wide Focus

Few networks comprise just one version of Windows yet there are important caveats to securing and managing a network of mixed versions of Windows. For instance, which settings in group policy are ignored by Windows 2000? You don't have the luxury of supporting just one version of Windows so why should a training seminar? Rather than limiting you to just one version of Windows you'll work on Windows Server 2003 but also learn if and how each point relates to Windows 2000, XP and even NT.

You'll learn how to implement Active Directory security, Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Group Policy, Internet Authentication Service (IAS), Encrypting File System (EFS), IPSec, L2TP, Certificate Services, Software Update Services (SUS), RADIUS and more. You'll learn how to make the technologies work together and leverage the Windows/Active Directory infrastructure. You'll learn how to setup 2-factor authentication VPNs, and options for securing wireless networks including an overview of 802.1x and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You'll find out the difference between an EFS implementation that can be broken in 3 easy steps and one that is secure. You'll discover secrets for dealing with the all too vulnerable Administrator account, how to control the all powerful Enterprise Admins group, dealing with local account risks and how to identify risks with domain and forest level trust relationships. You'll learn methods for keeping systems up-to-date against exploits and how to identify systems with missing patches.

In each section Randy will show you the nuts and bolts of a Windows security technology. Then you'll connect the theoretical to the real world by identifying risks and holes intrinsic to Microsoft's design and implementation of that technology as well as how to apply the technology to solve real problems. You'll also learn how each technology integrates with the infrastructure of Active Directory and how to control it centrally using group policy. You will cover each item in the Microsoft Baseline Security Checklist as well as the Center for Internet Security's Level 2 Benchmark for Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 when available.

You'll discover little known but free tools from Microsoft and others to help you automate Windows security. For instance you'll learn about a tool that allows you to query multiple security logs using SQL like queries. You'll learn how to set up real time filters that monitor for certain events – without using CPU cycles – and then take whatever action you specify.
