Windows Vista Firewall Primer
In case you have been living under a rock, or have a severe aversion to Windows Vista, you should know that the firewall included in the product is back and better than ever.
For enterprise environments, the amount of control leveraged through group policies is staggering, and extremely useful in controlling and deploying an enterprise-wide protection strategy.
My man Steve Reily, who is also off to TechEd to give some more of his great talks, covers the basics of why you need the Vista firewall, why you don't need another third-party firewall, and how to configure some of the new features of the Vista Firewall. The entire TechNet Magazine this month is dedicated to security and is worth a read.
