Security
It is important to protect your information and service resources from people who should not have access to them, while at the same time making those resources available to authorized users. Effective security achieves both these goals. After you understand your security needs, you can configure Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional to meet your goals. This chapter will help you make the most of the security technology provided with Windows 2000 Professional.Related Information in the Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit
