Windows Server® 2008 Security Infrastructure: Hands-On

Course: 964   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Apply Windows Server 2008 features to secure your infrastructure
  • Deploy a Windows-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as a foundation for security services
  • Enhance access controls with policy-based multifactor authentication
  • Build a scalable encryption solution that assures recovery of protected data
  • Install and configure Network Access Protection (NAP) to exclude unhealthy computers
  • Implement Domain Isolation to decrease network risk for sensitive servers

Course Benefits
Securing the network infrastructure has become a top priority and a major technical challenge for most organisations. Windows Server 2008 provides powerful and complex technologies for decreasing network risk and improving policy compliance. This course provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to correctly implement these solutions.

Who Should Attend
IT professionals responsible for securing a Windows-based network infrastructure. Knowledge at the level of Course 960, "Windows Server 2008 Comprehensive Introduction", or practical experience configuring and managing Windows Server 2003, is assumed.

Hands-on Training
Extensive hands-on exercises provide practical experience designing and implementing a secure network infrastructure. Exercises include:
  • Deploying Certificate Servers to provide key escrow and Key Recovery Agents
  • Implementing policy-based, multifactor authentication
  • Restoring encrypted data with Data Recovery Agents and supporting policies
  • Configuring NAP to quarantine unhealthy computers
  • Remediating quarantined clients to allow full network access
  • Building a Domain Isolation solution to restrict access to sensitive servers
