Mitigate Microsoft Patch Vulnerabilities

As part of the process of releasing patches, Microsoft security bulletins highlight those security vulnerabilities that are mitigated when local logged on users do not have administrative rights. A review of all the software updates that Microsoft released in 2010 demonstrates that month after month there are vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office that are mitigated when the user is not running with administrator privileges. Simply stated, when end users do not have administrator rights, the desktop is less vulnerable to a variety of malware. Desktop lockdown compliments other security measures and provides an additional layer of defense against malware.

Join this live TechRepublic Webcast, featuring Dwain Kinghorn, Partner at SageCreek Partners, he will highlight several of the vulnerabilities identified in patch releases. He'll explain the role of managing a locked down environment and how these security risks are mitigated when users do not have administrative rights.
