Implementing Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004
The Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server is truly a versatile and important component in any network. With the improvements ISA Server 2004 has over previous versions, trainer Jeremy Cioara explains that, among other benefits, “the firewall is light years ahead of any firewall that only handles port forwarding.”
The modifications Microsoft has made to ISA Server since the 2000 version have changed almost everything. Some of the biggest improvements include:
- deep-packet inspection of application-layer data,
- multiple-network support,
- unique network policies for each interface of the ISA Server 2004 firewall and
- additional VPN security including the VPN Quarantine functionality, which allows you to isolate non-compliant VPN clients.
- Plus, there have been huge improvements to the management interface and monitoring functions.
Our ISA Server 2004 videos map to Microsoft Exam 70-350, which gives you elective credit towards both the MCSE and MCSA 2003 certifications, plus the :Security specialization. In addition to covering the exam objectives, this series gives you on-the-job skills for deploying ISA Server 2004 on your network from start-to-finish.
The series also teaches you how to configure the ISA Server firewall to inspect packets down to the application-layer data and filter out hard-to-catch instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing applications. It even gives you a side-by-side comparison of ISA Server 2004 to competitors such as Cisco PIX and Checkpoint, so you can determine which firewall will best meet the needs of your network.
Thinking about deploying ISA Server 2004? This training will give you the skills and knowledge you need.
A basic understanding of Windows 2003 networking and e-mail services such as the MCSA 2003 certification and Exchange 2003 Administration training or equivalent knowledge is recommended before viewing these videos.
