Students who are beginning studies in technology need a strong foundation in the basics before moving on to more advanced technology courses and certification programs. The Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) is a new and innovative certification track designed to provide a pathway for future success in technology courses and careers. The MTA program curriculum helps instructors teach and validate fundamental technology concepts and provides students with a foundation for their careers as well as the confidence they need to succeed in advanced studies. Through the use of MOAC MTA titles you can help ensure your students future success in and out of the classroom. Vital fundamentals of security are included such as understanding security layers, authentication, authorization, and accounting. They will also become familair with security policies, network security and protecting the Server and Client.
Security is such a massive topic and at times this book struggled to contain itself. There are only a few chapters and it starts off well, things are quite interesting and kept simple. One section every computer user should read is about picking your password. Chapter 4 is where things went wrong, it was way too long, at times I was nearly falling asleep, it really needed to be split up into at least 3 chapters.
For those like me studying for the exam I recommend watching these videos on MVA as they go through this book giving you demos as they go along. it really helps.
