Course outline
  1. Implementing Exchange Server Security
  2. Securing the Network Perimeter with ISA Server 2004
  3. Defence in Depth Against Malicious Software
  4. Threat Mitigation for Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0
Module 1:Implementing Exchange Server Security
  • This session describes how to deploy a more secure Exchange Server 2003 infrastructure. This session also describes how to increase the security of e-mail that flows through an organization's Exchange servers. As well, this session describes how to configure Exchange Server 2003 to reduce the amount of unwanted e-mail using Exchange Server 2003 features such as Real Time Block List support and Intelligent Message Filtering.
  • Implementing Exchange Server.
  • Securing Exchange Server Services and Messaging Protocols.
  • Maintaining Security on Exchange Server.
  • Configuring Exchange to Protect Against Unwanted E-Mail.
Module 2:Securing the Network Perimeter with ISA Server 2004
  • This session describes how ISA Server 2004 can provide a complete security solution to help protect the network perimeter from the Internet, remote users, and remote network segments. The session demonstrates how ISA Server 2004 can enhance security for internal servers and external-facing resources such as Exchange Server or Internet Information Services, and also how ISA Server can operate as a virtual private networking server for more secure remote access to the internal network.
  • Introduction to ISA Server 2004.
  • Securing Access to Internal Servers.
  • Implementing Application and Web Filtering.
  • Securing Access to Exchange Server.
  • Virtual Private Networking with ISA Server 2004.
Module 3:Defence in Depth Against Malicious Software
  • Malicious software has become increasingly advanced; worms and viruses can propagate more quickly and evade detection more effectively. This session describes how a defense-in-depth approach to antivirus solution design can help protect various components of a computing infrastructure from malicious software attacks, including client computers, servers and networking devices. The session also covers how to implement an effective outbreak control and recovery plan, and how to identify, contain and remedy the effects of malicious software.
  • Understanding the Characteristics of Malicious Software.
  • Malware Defence-in-Depth.
  • Malware Defence for Client Computers.
  • Malware Defence for Servers.
  • Network-Based Malware Defence.
  • Malware Outbreak Control and Recovery.
Module 4:Threat Mitigation for Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0
  • While migration to a newer platform is recommended, many customers have key business applications that will only run on legacy operating systems. This session provides prescriptive information on hardening legacy Windows clients and servers, with the goal to reduce the risk of Windows NT and Windows 98 systems as much as possible. This session also provides guidance on how to increase security when upgrading to newer operating systems.
  • Mitigating Threats for Windows NT Networks.
  • Mitigating Threats for Computers Running Windows NT.
  • Mitigating Threats for Windows 98 Clients.
  • Migrating from Legacy Systems.
