TechNet Webcast: 24 Hours of SQL Server 2008: Securing Your System (Level 200)

While it is extremely important to secure the data, it is also vital to secure the system also. One without the other is not a secure solution. In this webcast, the presenter looks at the systems on which Microsoft SQL Server relies and runs. Contoso made two major decisions concerning their data: the first was to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008, the second was to move to Windows Server 2008 at the back end and Windows Vista at the front end. These two operating systems together offered the best solution going forward. The focus is on the Windows Server 2008 part of the combination to look at the features that enabled Contoso to secure their systems that run SQL Server and its required services.
