105 15
If you've ever wanted to learn information and network security from people
inside Microsoft, then the "protect Your Windows Network: From Perimeter To
Data" book is just what you've been looking for.

Written by two top security
experts working for microsoft - Steve Riley and Jesper Johansson, you will
undoubtedly find this book of great value to you - as you are most likely
working heavily on Windows platforms and networks.

The book covers a lot of ground for sure. But depending on what network and
computer security information you are looking for, you may or may not
appreciate it as the nest guy. Thing is, while some areas are well covered,
other parts could have been expanded upon a bit.

The major parts of the book are divided as follow:
Part 1 - Introduction and Fundamentals
Part 2 - Policies, Procedures, and User Awareness
Part 3 - Physical and Perimeter Security
Part 4 - Protecting Your Network Inside the Perimeter
Part 5 - Protecting Hosts
Part 6 - Protecting Applications

There's a saying that some of the most powerful things are the simplest. And
this book looks at security from a no-nonsense approach from the ground up when
touching on what needs to be done to secure computers, information and
networks. This "going back to the basics" approach is a must when looking at
security and the book does a great job of that.

Each chapter of the book concludes with steps on what you should be doing, step
by step, to implement what you just learned in the chapter you just read.

This book is a great reading thanks to it's "to the point" and sometime
humorous writing.

I would say that if you have anything to do with information and/or network
security, this "Protect Your Windows Network: From Perimeter to Data" book is
definitely something you should buy and read carefully - wether you're someone
of experience in network security or you're just starting out in
