Securing SharePoint 2010 with New Security Enhancements

Out-of-the-box, SharePoint provides for a secure interface, restricting access to documents and sites with comprehensive security down to the item level. In addition, SharePoint Search is security-trimmed, enabling users to see search results only from files to which they have access.

Although these security measures are robust, several layers of security aren’t configured by default in a SharePoint farm, including transport security, storage-level encryption, or rights management. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to configure these items, and this book covers each topic in step-by-step detail.
