ScriptLogic Corporation and Realtimepublishers Launch Windows Security eBook; Definitive Guide is a Must Read for Every Security Conscious Network Administrator

Business Wire, Feb 16, 2005

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- ScriptLogic(R) Corporation (www.scriptlogic.com), a leader in network administration software for Microsoft(R) Windows(R)-based networks, today announced it is publishing a new eBook, The Definitive Guide to Securing Windows In The Enterprise, in conjunction with Realtimepublishers, the worldwide leader in corporate sponsored e-publishing. The new eBook provides practical advice for administrators responsible for overseeing the security of their Windows-based desktops and servers within the enterprise.

Authored by industry veteran Don Jones, this new publication examines many Windows security issues that are overlooked due to the difficulty in discovering and understanding them. Among other items, readers will learn:

--The importance of managing local computer user groups centrally.

--The danger of not removing unnecessary background services running on servers across an organization.

--The need for software management beyond software maintenance to ensure that viruses and spyware are not running on enterprise machines.

"We have found that most enterprises have an effective means of security at the perimeter, however, most security breeches occur from the inside. With an increased focus on security driven by new laws and regulations, securing Windows becomes more of a mission critical directive every day," said Brian Styles, CTO of ScriptLogic Corporation. "This new eBook identifies security risks and provides guidance on how to mitigate, control or eliminate those risks through simple processes administered by IT professionals. We are strongly committed to educating the market based on our experience and are pleased to work with Realtimepublishers again for this project."

"This new definitive guide offers immediate access to the latest solutions for some of the more challenging problems surrounding Window's security," said Sean Daily, CTO and founder of Realtimepublishers.com. "It will be a vital resource for security professionals, and we are proud to work with ScriptLogic again to offer it to the IT community."

The eBook will be published chapter by chapter and is available via ScriptLogic's Web site beginning on February 16 and via Realtimepublishers' Web site on March 1. Readers who register at www.scriptlogic.com/ebook will receive email notification when each chapter of the eBook is made available for download.
