Creating a Plan for Deploying Your Security Technologies

Create a detailed plan for deploying network security technologies as part of your overall Windows 2000 deployment plan by using a formal project methodology. This will ensure that you deploy the technologies in a systematic, thorough manner with minimal opportunity for failure. Critical steps in the project include communicating the network security policies to all interested parties, and communicating policies and procedures to network users.

The most important aspect of the deployment project is pilot testing. The proposed network security technologies needs to be subjected to significant and realistic testing in a safe environment. This will help to ensure that the architecture works as intended, your security goals have been achieved, and your staff is ready to deploy and support the technologies.
