This three hour class is an overview of the larger security changes in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008-R2. Attendees will get a good understanding of the most important security enhancements in Windows 7/2008-R2 to help IT engineers and managers make more-informed decisions about deployment, the relative value of Windows 7 over XP/Vista, and to help guide further independent research.

This SANS class will not be pro-Microsoft propaganda or a sales pitch. The course author, Mr. Jason Fossen, does not work for Microsoft, though he does specialize in Windows (in)security as a consultant, and, for the SANS Institute. Jason is the author of the SANS Securing Windows track (SEC505) for the GCWN certification.
