TechNet Webcast: Windows Vista Security Tidbits (Level 300)
Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 6:45 AM - 8:00 AM Pacific Time
Jesper Johansson, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation
Have you played with Windows Vista yet? Do you have that sinking feeling of "Oh man, another new operating system to learn. This is daunting. I don't want this." Yeah right! You're chomping at the bit to get started, aren't you? This is why we're propeller heads in the first place—to play with the cool new technologies first. Windows Vista introduces many large changes to security, such as User Account Protection and process isolation. Windows Vista also brings many smaller, subtle, but significant changes to the system. Join this webcast for a guided tour that highlights some of these changes. They include new or changed default security settings, new access control lists (ACLs), new groups and accounts, and a number of other minor changes that could be very important as you evaluate deploying Windows Vista.

TechNet Webcast: Windows Vista: Networking, Firewall, and IPsec Improvements (Level 300)
Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM Pacific Time
Steve Riley, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Corporation
Bored with Windows networking? Just wait until you see the new networking components that Windows Vista packs. This webcast introduces the new TCP/IP stack that has been rebuilt for performance and security. Learn about support in Windows Vista for the strong end-system model and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). There is also a completely redesigned filtering engine, improved automatic performance tuning, and increased resiliency against TCP/IP-based denial of service (DoS) attacks. We cover enhancements to the firewall, including bidirectional policy control, enforcement of service hardening communications, and more. We also discuss improvements to Internet Protocol security (IPsec) such as simplified policies to speed up connection times, a new UI that is integrated with the firewall, user and application-based policies, more troubleshooting and diagnostic tools, and support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
