Who this book is for

To make use of the content of this book, basic prior knowledge of SCCM as well as handling Windows is expected. If you do not have this knowledge, it is always possible to catch up the basic requirements by having a quick read of the major components of the Microsoft Technet. Refer to the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/nb-no/sccm/core/servers/deploy/start-using.

There are several books about SCCM and online guides that can improve your knowledge of the product. As SCCM is a huge product, I recommend you start with the basics first so that you have a good foundation and understanding of how it all works.

But this book will also explain very well all the terminology and recipes so that you can actually understand them with very little experience in advance.

This book is well-suited for antivirus and antimalware administrators, as well as security administrators, to gain more understanding and knowledge of how this works. But the book is also highly valuable for SCCM admins to understand the needs for security admins.

And even if you are not at all interested in System Center Endpoint Protection or Windows Defender, as an admin, you feel a security responsibility to keep up with today's threats and how you can protect your business computers even more. There is information and recipes regarding how to protect against ransomware.
