HG63: How to Audit Windows, UNIX, and TCP/IP Security


(3 Days, 24 CPE Credits; $1470)


This class shows you how to audit the security for these two operating systems and the standard network protocol to connect them. You will learn how Windows security works, how UNIX security works, and how TCP/IP security works. You will then learn how to audit the security for them all. This class will be useful if you need to audit applications involving both operating systems, if you know one of them and need to learn the other, or if you just want to be competent in auditing the most common desktop and server platforms.

You will learn:

  • How Windows security works and how to audit it
  • How UNIX security works and how to audit it
  • How TCP/IP security works and how to audit it
  • How to audit security when the three are combined
  • Where the control points are and how to evaluate them
  • What data to collect and how to interpret it
  • How to conduct the audit, from planning and scoping through follow-up
  • What all the related buzzwords and acronyms mean
  • How to conduct the audit rapidly and efficiently, with maximum benefit to your organization
The workbook is a valuable reference and includes a complete audit program.
