A Close Look At Windows 2000 Security
By Dave Kearns
Reprinted with permission from Network World Windows Networking Newsletter, 09/13/00

Consider these two facts:

* Windows operating systems are hackers' biggest target.
* Windows 2000 is very different from Windows NT.

The inference we can draw is that Win 2000 security will be different from NT, and it will thus be a bigger target for hackers hoping there are vulnerabilities you'll overlook.

It's a scary proposition, but one you can overcome. And Microsoft is willing to help.

is a wonderful collection of documents and white papers loosely related, but all under the heading of "Best Practices for Enterprise Security."

There are dozens of papers available here, each focusing on a specific aspect of security in the Windows-based enterprise.

The white papers are grouped into three general categories (security backgrounders, security primers and security best practices) that reflect the different levels of knowledge needed to create and implement a successful security concept.

The security backgrounders provide an understanding of security-based issues and countermeasures that is independent of technology.

The security primers begin with a paper describing one example of a security architecture and continue with papers that treat each entity in the architecture separately, discussing how they fit into that architecture as a whole.

The final category, security best practices, is a set of papers that discuss a series of real-life scenarios along with their implemented solutions.

There are many hours of good reading here - download these papers and set aside the time to read them. Your network will be much safer if you do.
