SANS Day 5

  Today was "Windows Security" day. The topics were:

• The Windows Security Infrastructure


• Permissions and User Rights


• Security Templates and Group Policy


• Service Packs, Hotfixes, and Backups


• Securing Windows Network Services


• Automation and Auditing

  As I've been doing Windows Administration for years, this was pretty boring stuff for me. There really wasn't anything new to me here. So I decided to skip the evening bootcamp sessions tonight too. I'm already well aware of the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA).
