As difficult as it can be to secure individual computers, making sure that a network is secure is even more challenging. This is because, instead of working with a single machine, you have an entire network of devices to worry about. It’s a classic case of, “if the security of one is threatened, we’re all threatened.”
Luckily, there are several tools that can be used to “harden” individual computers, thereby making the network as a whole more secure. This series of videos will explore a few of those, including the Windows Server Security Configuration Wizard, the Role of Security Templates, and some of the Linux/Unix Security best practices.
This first video kicks things off by looking at the Windows Server 2008 Security Configuration Wizard and shows how to configure a simple firewall setting.
