Description
In this book, two senior members of Microsoft's Security Business and Technology Unit present a complete "Defense in Depth" model for protecting any Windows network—no matter how large or complex. Drawing on their work with hundreds of enterprise customers, they systematically address all three elements of a successful security program: people, processes, and technology.
Unlike security books that focus on individual attacks and countermeasures, this book shows how to address the problem holistically and in its entirety. Through hands-on examples and practical case studies, you will learn how to integrate multiple defenses—deterring attacks, delaying them, and increasing the cost to the attacker. Coverage includes
- Improving security from the top of the network stack to the bottom
- Understanding what you need to do right away and what can wait
- Avoiding "pseudo-solutions" that offer a false sense of security
- Developing effective security policies—and educating those pesky users
- Beefing up your first line of defense: physical and perimeter security
- Modeling threats and identifying security dependencies
- Preventing rogue access from inside the network
- Systematically hardening Windows servers and clients
- Protecting client applications, server applications, and Web services
- Addressing the unique challenges of small business network security
Authoritative and thorough, Protect Your Windows Network will be the standard Microsoft security guide for sysadmins, netadmins, security professionals, architects, and technical decision-makers alike. |
