Tony Northrup

Tony Northrup, CISSP, MCSE, and MVP, is a networking consultant and author living in the Boston, Massachusetts, area. During his 7 years as Principal Systems Architect at BBN/Genuity, he was ultimately responsible for the reliability and security of hundreds of Windows servers and dozens of Windows domains—all directly connected to the Internet. Needless to say, Tony learned the hard way how to keep Windows systems safe and reliable in a hostile environment. As a consultant, Tony has provided networking guidance to a wide variety of businesses, from Fortune 100 enterprises to small businesses.

Tony has authored and co-authored many books on Windows and networking, from NT Network Plumbing in 1998 to the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Performance and Troubleshooting Guide. Tony has also written several papers for Microsoft TechNet covering firewalls, ASP.NET, and other topics. When he’s not consulting or writing, Tony enjoys C# application development and nature and travel photography.
