Jan De Clercq is one of HP’s lead consultants in the space of Microsoft security.

"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. It contains lots of details and gives answers to the 'why' and 'how' of the OS security. Based on real-world experience, this comprehensive book is full of the practical information so important for administrators in their every day jobs." --Vladimir Kaplan, Morgan Stanley Information Technology"Windows Server 2003 was designed with security in mind. This book is a great addition to the prescriptive security guidance for Windows Server 2003 prepared by Microsoft. It is a must for every architect that is looking after implementing Windows Server 2003-rooted security infrastructures in its enterprise I.T. environment.
