Like other volumes in the "Special Ops" series, this title gives readers an in-depth look at the security implications of Windows Server 2003. It is written from the perspective of several authors with expertise in evaluating and securing Microsoft technology. It also provides a look at the persistent threats and exposures that have made Windows environments so challenging to secure in the past, as well as reviewing new changes to the operating system that make it an improvement over its predecessors. Because Windows Server 2003 is largely an incremental upgrade from Windows 2000, the text spends significant effort drawing comparisons between the two.
