Foundations of IT Security: Operating System Security

The operating system is where many attacks are targeted, which makes OS-level security just as important to your organization as network security. OS security is a key component of the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) Security Fundamentals exam (98-367). In this course, Foundations of IT Security series creator Lisa Bock will also review user authentication, assigning permissions and Active Directory, along with creating audit policies, and how you can protect servers and email.

 

Topics include:

• Creating strong passwords
• Understanding biometric security
• Adjusting permission behavior
• Enabling auditing
• OS hardening
• Using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
• Protecting email
