Overview
This one-day instructor-led clinic builds on existing knowledge of server and client security and provides students with the knowledge and skills to apply security best practices for Microsoft Exchange Server and to use Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 to improve security at the network perimeter. It also provides students with prescriptive guidance to implement layered defenses against malicious software and measures to increase security for Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 network clients.
Attendees will be current IT professionals with experience using Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and with knowledge of Microsoft Active Directory concepts. Students will also benefit from experience with Microsoft ISA Server 2000. The students will be in an environment where they are responsible for aspects of security management and deployment associated with their internal network infrastructure and Internet or intranet services.
