Tool Talk Webcast: "Vista Security in a Nutshell: What You Need to
Know Now"
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Dave Shackleford
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90846

The verdict on Vista security is still out, and rumors, rumblings and
speculation continue to abound. This webcast is your chance to cut
through the clutter for a clear look at Vista's new security controls.

Join Dave Shackleford, chief security architect at Vigilar and a
SANS certified instructor, for this 45-minute crash course on Vista
security. You'll learn:

    * What the new Vista security controls are and how they compare to XP
    * How they will likely impact your organization for the better or worse
    * Which security issues pose the biggest risks to Vista users -
    and how to manage them

If you've found it difficult to glean useful information from the Vista
prognosticators, you'll surely find this webcast to be time well spent.
