Now Available: Security Baselines for Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8!
Download the newly updated Security Compliance Management Toolkit Series!
We are very pleased to announce the release of new security baselines for Windows® 7 and Windows® Internet Explorer® 8. These new baselines are now included with the Security Compliance Management Toolkit Series. Over the past few months, we collaborated with Microsoft security experts, multiple government agencies worldwide, and a large community of IT security professionals to develop and test these new security baselines. Now that Windows 7 is available, we are excited to share the results of our efforts.
The Security Compliance Management Toolkit Series is an end-to-end solution to help you plan, deploy, and monitor security baselines of Windows® operating systems, Internet Explorer, and 2007 Microsoft® Office applications. The new Windows 7 security baseline also includes recommendations for BitLocker™ Drive Encryption. The series provides you with the following:
-
Prescriptive and tested security guidance from Microsoft.
-
GPOAccelerator – a tool to help you configure and deploy recommended security settings.
-
Configuration packs compatible with the desired configuration management (DCM) feature of Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, and reporting functionality to help you verify that your organization's compliance requirements have been met.
