About the Book

NT isn't nearly as secure as Microsoft would like you to think -- and if you're building enterprise applications on it, you'd better know how to close those gaping holes! This is the first systematic, expert guide to making NT the secure operating system it's supposed to be. The Windows NT Security Guide presents end-to-end coverage of account security, identification, authentication, access control lists, object security, physical security, securing the Registry, remote access, internetworking with NetWare, and much more. It shows how to supplement built-in NT security with firewalls, proxy servers and other mechanisms. It introduces third-party products, consultants and organizations that can help you improve NT security in your environment. Finally, it previews and evaluates the forthcoming improvements to NT's security model that will be part of Windows NT 5.0. Windows NT Security Guide is a must read for every Windows NT network administrator.
