Résumé

Today's uber viruses, worms, and trojans may seem more damaging than ever, but the attacking malware and malicious hackers are using the same tricks they always have. With this book, Microsoft MVP Roger Grimes exposes the real threat to Windows computers and offers practical guidance to secure those systems.

Grimes shares proven yet unconventional defenses that most Windows administrators don't use. He walks you step-by-step through these techniques, clearly showing you how to secure your Windows operating system beyond the Microsoft defaults. You'll get security advice for Windows 2000, XR and Server 2003, in addition to emerging technologies from Microsoft. Plus, the book details hundreds of group policy settings and the best way to apply group policy objects. Ultimately, you'll discover how to harden Microsoft's most commonly attacked applications while automating all of your security settings.
