Product Description
Product Description
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.

Windows NT's security holes: how to plug them tight!
If you're staking your company on Windows NT, you'd better know how to close its gaping security holes! Windows NT Server Security Guide is the first systematic, expert guide to making NT the secure operating system it's supposed to be. You'll find end-to-end coverage of account security, identification, authentication, access control lists, groups and users, object and physical security, securing the Registry, encryption, securing mixed NT/NetWare networks, and much more.
- Establish a tough, realistic NT security policy
- Strengthen Intranet/Extranet security with firewalls and proxy servers

Covers the very basics and not much more
3 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Mr. Gonsalves' book provides the most basic information on Windows NT 4 Server Security. If are somewhat familiar with NT already, then you may want to pass on this book for a more detailed book. Mr. Gonsalves also writes as if he were an employee of Microsoft or a Microsoft cheerleader. The book does not offer a critical assessment of Windows NT security and often fails to point out shortcomings.

Only book comparing NT with Novell and Unix security
2 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
The book provides great insight on NT security, including access controls and registry. It's the only book I know comparing Novell and Unix security.
