Operating System Security: Windows 2000 and UNIX
Number of pages:
20
ABSTRACT:
A 20 page paper examining security in these two operating systems. Devotees of Windows 2000 and UNIX each claim that their operating system of choice is superior to the other. In this age of the need for heightened security, assessing an operating system on its ability to protect system information and function seems to be a reasonable approach to choosing an operating system. Critical analysis of known security breaches within both systems reveals that while each has unique qualities, both are vulnerable in the network environment. Because networking is such a critical factor for many users, organizations should base their choice of operating system on factors other than that of security. There is no significant difference between the two in that regard. Bibliography lists 20 sources. Includes 3 tables.
