TechWeb | at | by Mike
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 "Specialized Security -- Limited Functionality," meanwhile, targets organizations such as financial businesses and government agencies where security concerns outweigh functionality.
