Nt1330 Unit 3

• It is imperative that Administrators keep their Networks safe & Secure. Instead of each and every workstation manually connecting to Microsoft updates, Administrators can employ WSUS to download updates centrally to an internal server in their network. Once the WSUS authorizes them, they are deployed to their internal locations. Then, Reporting tools assist and keep the Administrators informed

OS X has many security features that help protect the user's Mac. One feature is called Gatekeeper which makes installing application safer by keeping applications that have shown no sign of malware so the user doesn't accidently download a dangerous file. Another is Privacy control which as the name states allows the user to state what type of privacy they want on their machine, some features of Privacy control is blocking unwanted cookies or limit the amount that come in.

1. Using least privilege can help protect your data and intellectual property. This the concept of giving users the minimum permissions to perform a task. This can restrict access to certain applications. Sales would not have the same access as the technical services team. Only administrators will have unlimited privileges. Administrator level access should be limited to only 2 users (What Is Principle of Least Privilege (POLP)? Definition from WhatIs.com).

Formal user access control procedures must be documented, implemented and kept up to date for each application and information system to ensure authorised user access and to prevent unauthorised access. They must cover all stages of the lifecycle of user access, from the initial registration of new users to the final de-registration of users who no longer require access. These must be agreed by IDI. User access rights must be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that the appropriate rights are still allocated. System administration accounts must only be provided to users that are required to perform system administration tasks.

Security Configuration Wizard: A wizard that walks you through the steps of how to create a security policy that can be applied to any server on the network.

type of access control by which the operating system constrains the ability of a subject or initiator to access or generally perform some sort of operation on an object or target. In practice, a subject is usually a process or thread; objects are constructs such as files, directories, TCP/UDP ports, shared memory segments, IO devices etc. Subjects and objects each have a set of security attributes. Whenever a subject attempts to access an object, an authorization rule enforced by the operating system kernel examines these security attributes and decides whether the access can take place. Any operation by any subject on any object will be tested against the set of

3. Which of the following is not one of the Default Security Levels that can be used with a software restriction policy? a. Basic User b. Unrestricted c. Restricted d. Disallowed

The security and authorization family controls are focused on the creation and maintenance of a security plan. Through this it would identify the individuals responsible for information systems and the development of plans and how to implement them by creating goals to help them in meeting their overall goal for their security program.

You have created a GPO named RestritU and linked it to the Operations OU (containing 30 users) with link order 3. RestrictU sets serveral policies in the User Configuration node. After a few days, you realize the Operations OU has three users who should be exempt from the restrictions in this GPO. You need to make sure these three users are exempt from the RestrictU's settings, but all other policy settings are in effect for them. What's the best way to proceed?

Software controls: Monitor the use of system software and prevent unauthorized access of software programs, system software, and computer programs.

Administrator and user privileges should be limited in scope in order to prevent any one individual from performing unauthorized actions on the network. Currently all administrators have full access to all system resources. These administrator

Distribution of License: The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.

For instance, Science Applications International Corporation developed special software package that would be send to 250 to 500 field personnel and team according to organizational structure. The software will be further transferred to the organizational employees as per the departmental structure.

General Controls consist of implementation controls, software controls, hardware controls, computer operations controls, data security controls and administrative controls. These controls ensure that approved user involvement as well as exact procedures and standards are followed, controlled and are properly managed to secure physical and electronic data1.

4.3.1 Application Sandboxing. It is a part of the memory used to control and limit the access to the file systems from applications and external code. It is used as preventative measure, which works by checking the permissions assigned to each application when it was created to determine the source of every application.(Ahmad et al. 2013).
