About the course
 
This intended to teach something to users and administrators alike at
every level, but is optimized for those with a little bit of experience
in administering Windows. While a beginning administrator can easily
implement any of the discussed techniques, it helps to have a firm
foundation of Windows basic fundamentals, especially as they apply in
Windows 2000 or later, before reading any book of this nature.
After the end of the course you come to be among the most informed
Windows user and/or administrator in the business. After finishing,
participants should understand the strengths and weaknesses of Windows
Vista, and of computer security in general. Along with all the new
material presented, we hope that you walk away with answers to many
questions that you've had for years about existing technologies and
techniques. Thus, this lecture gives a healthy dose of security
skepticism, both directed toward all the glowing Windows Vista marketing
literature and toward its critics. We firmly believe that Windows Vista
is among the most readily secured operating systems for PCs and is
highly appropriate for most networks and users.
Tools
All the programs and tools discussed or recommended in this book are
installed with Windows Vista or are readily available for downloading
(most for free) on the Internet
Training Duration
 Minimum of three (3) days which includes lectures and hands on to
facilitate concepts/theories presented. A one (1) day lecture will
suffice all topics. 
Course Organization
Part I is an overview of the new security features of Windows Vista, how
malicious hackers hack, and how Windows functions in general.
Part II focuses on general host-based security controls, such as User
Account Control, Windows Defender, and application security. Because
most of today's computer attacks use client-side, host-based vectors,
this is an especially important section.
Part III focuses on securing Internet Explorer and e-mail from the
client perspective and IIS from the server perspective. Browser and
e-mail programs are involved in most of today's malicious exploits. Part
III introduces Internet Explorer 7, Windows Mail, and IIS 7
Part IV discusses the improved Windows Firewall, IPsec, and wireless
security. Part IV also includes a section about one of the most
promising network security techniques available today-Server and Domain
Isolation.
Part V focuses on automating security using group policy and finishes in
Module 15 with point-counterpoint discussions between the two authors.
The last Module summarizes the authors' strongest held defense beliefs
and recommendations.
