Tech Ed Europe Announcement
Hi all,
I have just been invited to speak at Tech Ed Europe again in Amsterdam. I will be presenting two sessions and one chalk talk. I am not sure of what dates the sessions will be presented, but wanted to post the session titles and abstracts.
Managing a Smart Card Deployment
Many companies are exploring the deployment of smart cards to increase authentication strength in their networks. This session discusses the design issues you must address when designing your smart card deployment. Not only does a successful smart card deployment require policies and procedures to ensure success, the deployment must also have tools to assist in the deployment and management of the smart cards. The session will look at how Microsoft clients have deployed smart cards in their networks; identify the applications that work for smart cards, and where you still cannot use smart cards. Finally, the session will demonstrate a third party registration authority that allows key recovery for encryption certificates stored on smart cards and helps ensure that identity is proven before issuing a certificate to the certificate requester.
Securing Your Active Directory Deployment: Best Practices
From authentication to authorization, Active Directory is at the heart of distributed network security in a Windows Server based IT infrastructure, and thus plays a key role in securing your IT infrastructure. It is imperative that your organization takes adequate measures to maintain strong security of your Active Directory deployment so as to minimize the risk of a security breach in your Active Directory deployment. In this exciting session, we analyze known threats to your Active Directory deployments and walk through the Top-ten list of actions to take to enhance the security of your Active Directory deployments - from establishing secure Active Directory boundaries to deploying secure domain controllers, from enhancing critical security policies to protecting your administrative accounts and workstations. Come learn everything you need to know to secure your Active Directory deployments.
Chalk Talk: Using Scripting to Ease your PKI Deployment
You are ready to implement your Public Key Infrastructure, and you want to ensure that what you deploy is what you designed. Brian Komar will demonstrate the batch files and scripts that MCS uses during PKI engagements to simplify the PKI deployment process. Not only do these scripts help deployment, but also aid you in a disaster recovery scenario. At the end of the session, you will see the true value of the CertUtil command-line tool.
