This book is the result of my experience and the experiences
of my colleagues at Convergent Computing in
working with ISA Server Standard and Enterprise versions,
in the beta stages and in deployment. I wrote this book to
be topical, so that you can easily browse to a particular
2 Introduction
section and follow easy-to-understand step-by-step scenarios. In addition, if you are
looking for a good overview on ISA, the book can be read in sequence to give you a good
solid understanding of the higher levels of security and functionality ISA can provide.
The Target Audience of This Book
This book is geared toward information technology professionals who have moderate to
high levels of exposure to firewall, security, and network technologies. It is ideal for those
administrators who need a good in-depth knowledge of how ISA works and how it can be
used to perform common tasks. In addition, this book is ideal for security administrators
who are looking to deploy ISA as an additional layer of security in an existing environment,
particularly for securing Outlook Web Access, websites, and other internal services.
The Organization of This Book
