With uninformed users and malicious
software abound, desktops are typically the
weakest link in the security chain. Steps
should be taken to limit users’ computer
usage to business tasks. Desktops should be
locked down to avoid installation of unauthorized
software and use of unauthorized devices.
Using Group polices CDS can limit access
to only those resources needed to perform
business functions. By setting user rights
and privileges correctly future issues can
be avoided.
Each desktop needs to be protected by Anti-Virus
software. In addition to A/V software most
companies can benefit from an Anti-Spyware
package and content management.
