Concise Problem Solver.
Intermediate - Advanced Level Users
A compact reference guide devoted entirely to NT security issues, this book shows you step-by-step techniques for complex system tasks related to security. The book goes beyond simple desktop security to cover server-security as well. It includes advice on the relative vulnerability of various NT features and subsystems; shows how to ensure NT security at system deployment and at upgrade time, as well as during routine system administration; and advises the system administrator on "best practices" for assigning permissions in a complex organisation. The book also points out "security holes" in the NT system, as well as weaknesses that emerge from poor planning and lax administration. Extra emphasis is placed on NT security issues raised by high-bandwidth connections to the Internet, with and without firewalls.
