“It is very difficult to find a good security book these days. This book is an exception to this. Content is well written and organized. I am a security analyst for a bank. We already started testing some of the process and solutions mentioned in this book. Our entire security group is very happy with the logic and ideas provided in this book. This book was beyond our expectations. It explains the operating system hardening details as well as other applications like IIS, DNS, DHCP, Hyper-V, File and Print servers. Looking forward to reading more books from this author. I highly recommend this book. “

The topics are very well organized and explained in step by step instruction style. It provides enough background information and detailed instructions on how to implement the mentioned solutions in IT networks. The custom PowerShell scripts provided are well written and ready to use. I learned about some new applications from this book like Microsoft Attack Surface Analyzer(ASA), AppLocker, Security Compliance Manager (SCM) etc. In my opinion, this is one of the “must have” books if you are looking for a Microsoft Security related book! Great job and good luck!

I strongly recommend this book if you are looking to learn more about windows server security. I'm an IT professional (MCITP-DBA), and more than often I have to work with our admin group in reviewing our windows server infrastructure security and policies. This the most hands-on book I came across so far on windows security. The book clearly shows that it is written by someone who deals with windows security on a daily basis. My favorite is the step-by-step tutorials that provides real-world scenarios and security solutions, which is exactly what I was looking for. The book gives you a jump start on different techniques for identifying and mitigating any flaws in your windows server environment, and it does so in a clear and concise manner. The book is well organized - easy to follow and understand. The two important parts of the book - proactive approach and step-by-step tutorials should be very helpful for readers at all levels. If you are looking for hands-on book for windows server security - this is your book.
