Total Vista Lockdown
This 3-day course written and taught by Randy Franklin Smith teaches you how to solve workstation and laptop security risks with Windows Vista.
I am excited about Vista security and its potential for addressing long standing workstation and laptop vulnerabilities. Vista brings a number of “for-the-first-time” capabilities to the workstation security environment that finally address vulnerabilities I’ve been writing about for years. For instance:
• For the first time, Windows is integrated with the hardware to provide entire disk encryption.
• For the first time, you can use smart cards to store Encrypting File System (EFS) keys
• For the first time, end –users can get their work done without being local administrators
• For the first time, you can control devices like USB flash drives and other removable media
• For the first time, you can opt-out of all ActiveX controls by default
At the same, time beware the Kool-aid. Vista isn’t perfect and you need to know what works in the real world and what doesn’t. It’s easy to get so focused on low-level technical risks and security features that you miss forest for the trees. With my unique “Real World Discussions”, I will help you connect all the techie-detail to real-world business risks.
