The health of your business depends on secure and reliable applications. One security incident can lead to costly downtime, loss of customer trust, and possibly fines and/or lawsuits. As a leader in the computing industry, Microsoft built its Trustworthy Computing Initiative to deliver secure products and to help its customers deploy and efficiently maintain secure applications. A result of this commitment is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, which helps enable businesses to provide secure access to business critical applications while protecting information assets against unauthorized access.
This paper describes the security feature enhancements in Windows Server 2003 and outlines how they facilitate business scenarios such as: building a more secure Web application platform, providing more secure mobile access, and streamlining identity management across the enterprise.
