"In many companies Windows servers no longer just have to be integrated in an existing security infrastructure ; they make the security infrastructure. This shift means people need better understanding of security terminology, security requirements and product integration with the non-Microsoft world. Jan, with his deep and broad knowledge of both worlds (Windows and security), again provides excellent information on these topics." --Roland Schoenauen, CISSP, Banque Générale du Luxembourg
"Jan De Clercq's book is of critical importance for everyone who needs to design and implement security strategies in Windows Server 2003.
