WindowSecurity.com blogs
Welcome to our Network Security blogs. The blogs are updated on a regular basis with the latest news, information and insider gossip within the network security world and security related fields, such as cryptography.
Dr. Tom Shinder's Security Space will cover all topics related to security on Microsoft networks. We will focus on Microsoft's security products and technologies, such as NTFS, access controls, permissions, network security, IPSec, EFS, BitLocker, System Hardening, Service Hardening, ISA Server, IAG, Forefront Security products, and more! This blog will focus on how the Microsoft admin can take a defender's approach to network security, rather than the more typical hacker's view - in this way we can dedicate our time to our core competency - defending our networks against attack.
