Tags:
firewalls

Overview This webcast shows how to protect a network from external threats and attacks. The first step is to install a firewall and then configure it to allow trusted parties and applications through, while maintaining the highest available level of protection. This webcast shows specifically how to use Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server. The presenter discusses different firewall configurations, when to choose which configuration, methods for deploying ISA Server, and how to allow access to certain applications such as the Web and virtual private network.
