Vista guidelines for enterprise security unveiled
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006
Microsoft has released detailed guidelines for locking down Windows Vista in the enterprise, giving IT
managers both advice and tools to help them secure desktops and laptops.
The "Windows Vista Security Guide," available online as well as in a download package, walks administrators through two different baseline security configurations. The first, dubbed "Enterprise Client," is the standard most companies will use; the "Specialised Security - Limited Functionality," meanwhile, targets organisations such as financial businesses and government agencies where security concerns outweigh functionality.
"Based on your feedback and extensive experience from other customers, government agencies, and Microsoft security experts, the Windows Vista Security Guide is designed to provide comprehensive vulnerability, risk, and mitigation analyses to help you understand the tradeoffs between security and functionality," wrote Kelly Hengesteg, senior program manager for Microsoft’s security and compliance group, on the Vista security blog.
