It discusses Windows XP and various application security settings in technical detail. The guide provides insight into the threats and security controls that are relevant for various operational environments, such as for a large enterprise or a home office. It describes the need to document, implement, and test security controls, as well as to monitor and maintain systems on an ongoing basis. It presents an overview of the security components offered by Windows XP and provides guidance on installing, backing up, and patching Windows XP systems. It discusses security policy configuration, provides an overview of the settings in the accompanying NIST security templates, and discusses how to apply additional security settings that are not included in the NIST security templates. It demonstrates securing popular office productivity applications, Web browsers, e-mail clients, personal firewalls, antivirus software, and spyware detection and removal utilities on Windows XP systems to provide protection against viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other types of malicious code. This list is not intended to be a complete list of applications to install on Windows XP system, nor does it imply NIST's endorsement of particular commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. 517 $aGuidance for securing Microsoft Windows XP for IT Professionals 610 $aAnti-virus 610 $aAuthentication 610 $aComputer security 610 $aCOTS 610 $aEmail 610 $aEncryption 610 $aFirewall 610 $aHardening 610 $aIPsec 610 $aLockdown 610 $aMalware 610 $aMicrosoft 610 $aOperating system 610 $aSecurity checklist 610 $aSecurity configuration 610 $aSecurity controls 610 $aSecurity policy 610 $aSecurity templates 610 $aSpyware 610 $aThreats 610 $aW 700 $aSouppaya$b Murugiah$01352527 701 $aJohnson$b Paul M$0144987 701 $aScarfone$b Karen$01764277 712 02$aNational Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.).$bComputer Security Division. 801 0$bNBS 801 1$bNBS 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910711179703321 996 $aGuidance for securing Microsoft Windows XP for IT Professionals$94206088 997 $aUNINA
