Microsoft Operating System And Applications

Over the last few years,there has been a big push for security with Microsoft operating system and applications.As with any modern

microsoft exams operating system, you will need to know how to configure file system security. This will be done with NTFS permissions, Share permissions, EFS and BitLocker. BitLocker is a new technology that can encrypt an entire drive, which will protect if a computer such as a laptop is stolen. Be sure to know when it is best to use EFS for encryption and when it is best to use BitLocker. Also know the system requirements for BitLocker.

help protect your computer are Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. Therefore, you will need to know how to configure those tools.

regions and Codecs.
