Version 2.1 of the Windows XP Security Guide now available!
The Microsoft Solutions for Security and Compliance (MSSC) team is proud
to announce the release to Web of version 2.1 of the Windows XP Security
Guide.
This guide is the first of three closely related security guides that
are being updated. The other two guides are the Windows Server 2003
Security Guide and Threats and Countermeasures: Security Settings in
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.
Solution Content
This version of the Windows XP Security Guide was updated to provide
additional security guidance for:
* Maintaining different levels of security and control on
Windows XP client computers.
* Securing Windows XP client computers that are not members of
an Active Directory domain.
* Security settings for computers that must function reliably in
extremely critical roles in high security environments.
Information about the security features in SP2 was included as an
appendix in the previous version of this guide. This information has now
been integrated throughout the guide, and thoroughly tested templates
for Windows Firewall security settings are provided. Information is also
provided about closing ports, Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
communications, memory protection, e-mail handling, Web download
controls, spyware controls, and much more.
Where to Find the Windows XP Security Guide
The guide was developed, reviewed, and approved by teams of
authoritative experts in security management. It is available on the
TechNet Security Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14839.
The guide is also available for download from the Microsoft Download
Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14840.
