In Detail
Implementing and maintaining security is a critical task for any organization; however, developing a proper solution based on your requirements can be time consuming and complex. Windows Server 2012 provides security features and solutions that can be used as standalone security solutions as well as integrated solutions with your existing security or auditing tools. These native and built-in tools can secure Microsoft infrastructure platforms based on Microsoft and industry standard best practices.
Getting Started with Windows Server Security provides you with an invaluable tutorial for creating and implementing a stable, reliable security solution for your Microsoft infrastructure.
To begin, you will learn how to implement baseline security using Microsoft Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) and how to lock down unwanted services, along with how to configure your Windows firewall. You will see how to enable and use native tools including App Locker and Credential Locker to identify and mitigate risks and make Windows Server more secure.
This book also walks you through best practices for designing and building a secure Microsoft server platform, with instructions on configuration and managing Dynamic Access Control and polices.
Finally, you will learn how to install and configure Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), which plays a critical role in the security space.
