Discover little known tips that can drastically increase both your Windows 7 and network security.

Windows 7 has lots of security settings—some on and some off.  Surprisingly, some settings that should be on are off, and vice versa.  This training session is designed to show you the specific tasks you can do to increase your security by simply re-adjusting internal settings. 

Attendees will learn:
•    How to control your network utilizing QoS— even if your program isn't QoS aware!
•    How to setup DNSsec so you get protection from DNS redirects
•    How to engage the advanced Audit policies to help meet Federal standards
•    Where to quickly engage AppLocker and stop those fast moving malware
•    How to quickly adjust your entire network’s security setting in a few command line settings, and more! 

Familiarity with the command line interface and Group Policy Editor is helpful, but not necessary.

Instructor Bio

Brad Smith, RN, MCNPS, CISSP, NSA-IAM became fascinated with computers in 1972 and hasn't burned out yet! He has been beta testing products since Windows NT and every OS since then, including Win 7. Brad prides himself as an equal opportunity OS hater and finds problems with all OS's, regardless of age, platform or kernel. His collection of OS's contains many examples of how not to write an OS. Some day he hopes to find an OS that he can take long stable walks together, while being green and having great security that doesn't need readjusting. He can only hope.

Brad is director of the Computer Institute of the Rockies which was recognized as the Microsoft Small Business Partner of the year in 2005.  Brad is a Certified Small Business Specialist and works with many small, micro and nano rural and frontier businesses in outer Montana.
