"I found Windows NT Security Guide to be a true gem... it's not just a good book on security, it is instructional by design."
Christopher Brown

Your computers are at risk, whether they are connected to a corporate intranet or the Internet, have access to a sensitive database, or simply sit on your desk when you're not there. In the Windows NT Security Guide, Steve Sutton, a security expert and corporate trainer, shows you how to maximize Windows NT's various security protections and avoid many of its pitfalls. This book explains NT's security features from a step-by-step, how-to perspective with numerous realistic examples. Whether you are a day-to-day user or network administrator, you'll find Windows NT Security Guide an invaluable reference.
Windows NT Security Guide helps you:
- Spot and protect against common threats, such as data snooping and tampering, password misuse, and viruses
- Configure Windows NT against Internet and intranet security risks
- Build your Security Policy for user accounts and groups, domains, Access Control Lists, and the security log
- Understand the basics of cryptography that play large roles in today's global Internet environment
- Use some of NT's lesser-known secure installation practices and cope with its inherent security soft spots
- Answer the basic question: Is Windows NT secure enough for me?
This book is accompanied by a complete set of on-line exercises and many "pencil" questions (and answers) so that you can also use it as a self-paced training tool.
