Secure Messaging reviewed, at least partly

Michael Murphy, a TechNet presenter for Microsoft, has been reading Secure Messaging with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. So far, I like his approach to reviewing the book; he’s posted an article that describes his reaction to the first two chapters, including an explanation of what’s in them. One of the best parts of writing a security-focused book was that I had the luxury of including background material to help Exchange admins get the right vocabulary and mindset to talk security with real security folks. This makes my book very different from other Exchange books, since they normally have to cover so many topics that they can’t provide much depth in any one area. In fact, the first five chapters are broad enough to be of interest to admins running any messaging or collaboration software on Windows– so all you Notes folks who secretly read my blog, go get a copy 🙂
