		<description><![CDATA[One of your key skills as a Microsoft network security admin is to be able to read network traces. In order to read network traces, you need a way to obtain them. One of the best (and free) network analysis tools available today is the Microsoft Network Monitor. No, I'm not talking about the old Network Monitor included with versions of Systems Management Server (SMS). I'm talking about the new, standalone version, Network Monitor 3.x. However, you need more than just a network analysis tool. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/08/smb2-parser-now-available-for-network-monitor-31/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know about Network Access Protection (NAP). It's the new Windows Server 2008 technology that allows you to control what hosts are allowed to connect to your network based on the security configuration of the client systems who try to connect to your network. If the client can't pass the NAP tests, then it's not allowed to communicate with hosts on your network, except for those you have allowed them to connect to so that they can remediate. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/08/two-great-tastes-that-taste-great-together-nap-and-forefront-client-security/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across an interesting blog post over at http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/05/05/locking-down-laptops-from-the-tsa/&nbsp;which refers to ways to protect information on a laptop that might be examined by custom's agents. As you might know, as a US citizen, your Constitutional Rights do not apply when you're going through customs. No, this has nothing to do with the Patriot Act, or George Bush or anything you might want to think it's due to -- it's always been this way. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/06/securing-information-from-legal-intruders/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a MS security admin, you know that probably your biggest challenge today is securing mobile devices. There's the versions of Windows Mobile, the Blackberry, the iPod, and the other phones that are waiting to connect to your network.  Some of these devices are built with security in mind and support multiple methods that can be used to secure the configuration of the device, secure the data on the device, and secure the connections that the device makes to your corporate network. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/05/how-microsoft-it-secures-mobile-devices/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not being a developer myself, I don't spend a lot of time searching out information on secure software development. However, I recently found a site that makes secure software development education interesting to non-developers. The site is called Microsoft Hello Secure World. There are a number of useful and interesting presentations that you can watch and listen to on the site, and a virtual lab that you can use to bone on up learning about how to avoid common coding mistakes. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/04/microsoft-hello-secure-world/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've written in the past about the areas where you need to implement security. My personal focus is network security, because my primary interest is in network firewalls, especially the ISA Firewall. However, there are many layers that need to be taken care of before you can say that you've implemented defense in depth security policy. I would argue that the most important consider is the security of the software deployed. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/05/01/the-power-of-creating-secure-software-using-the-microsoft-security-development-lifecycle/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ran across a great collection of free security utilities, may of which can prove useful to any Windows security administrator. Check out a list of these free Security Tools at: http://www.itsecurity.com/features/103-best-free-security-utilities-041608/ Note that not all of them are freeware. Some have 30 day trial version that dumb down after the trial period runs out. But there's still enough on this list that you should find something that will help out your company or home network. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/04/30/103-free-security-utilities/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While most of us consider the installation, configuration and maintenance of security software on the network to be the most daunting task of a network security program, probably the most challenging aspect of security is to get employee buy in. Without the help of your users, many of your technological solutions will fail. However, if you can get your users online with your overall security vision and implementation, you'll significantly increase the value of your security software investment. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/04/29/the-microsoft-security-awareness-toolkit/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I wrote about a Web site promoting something called the Home Network Awareness Program. This site claims to be affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security and throughout the site makes it a point to appear as a legitimate community effort to help reduce the risks of terrorism by analyzing network traces of home networks and any available public network. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/04/28/follow-up-on-home-network-awareness-program/">more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been on the road a lot in the last month and haven't had much time to perform basic computer maintenance on my primary workstation. My workstation is somewhat of a monster of cables and external hard drives, external DVD writers, and a dual wide screen monitor setup. There's about 4 terabytes connected to this box, including all my research and work materials, virtual machines, and the standard and non-standard applications someone in the info security spaces collects over the years. <a href="http://blogs.windowsecurity.com/shinder/2008/04/28/automatic-update-my-have-led-to-email-denial-of-service/">more...</a>]]></description>
