Hacking Exposed: Windows shows you how to meet this challenge with the two-pronged approach adapted from the original Hacking Exposed, now in its fifth edition.
First, we catalog the numerous exploits your Windows deployment will face and explain how they work in excruciating detail. How do we know these are the greatest threats? Because we are hired by the world’s largest companies to break into their Windows infrastructures, and we use them on a daily basis to do our jobs.
Once we have your attention by showing you the damage that can be done, we tell you how to prevent each and every attack.
